<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 580706 by <a href="/recipes/users/4173351/">Vasudev Ram</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/binary/">binary</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/conversion/">conversion</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/decimal/">decimal</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/hexadecimal/">hexadecimal</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/octal/">octal</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pdfwriter/">pdfwriter</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pdf_generation/">pdf_generation</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/python/">python</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/utility/">utility</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/xtopdf/">xtopdf</a>). </p> <p>This recipe shows how to generate a PDF cheat sheet, that contains a table for conversion of the numbers 0 to 255 (the numbers that can fit in one byte) between binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal representations. The table has four columns, one for each of those bases, and 256 rows, for the numbers 0 to 255.</p> <p>TO use the table, you can look for a number, say in decimal, in the Dec(imal) column (or use the search function of your PDF viewer), then when you find it in some row, just look at the other 3 columns in that row, to find the value of that number in binary, octal and hexadecimal. And use the same procedure if starting with a number in any of the other three bases.</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Text recipe 580701 by <a href="/recipes/users/4173351/">Vasudev Ram</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/pdfwriter/">pdfwriter</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pdf_generation/">pdf_generation</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pipe/">pipe</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pipeline/">pipeline</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/xtopdf/">xtopdf</a>). </p> <p>This recipe is a command pipeline. The first component of the pipeline is a D language program that makes use of simple functional programming and template / generic programming features of D, to transform some input into the desired output. Both input and output are text. The D program writes the output to standard output, which is then read by a Python program that reads that as input via standard input, and converts it to PDF.</p>
