Python – Interconvert Tuple to Byte Integer

Sometimes, while working with Python data, we can have a problem in which we need to perform conversion of tuple values, into combined byte and then to integer and vice-versa. This kind of problem can have application in data domains. Let’s discuss certain ways in which this task can be performed.

Input : test_tuple = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
Output : 4328719365

Input : test_int = 4328719365
Output : (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

Method #1 : Tuple -> Byte Integer : Using int.from_bytes()
The combination of above functions can be used to solve this problem. In this, we perform the task of conversion using internal function from_bytes() and obtain the desired integer value.

# Python3 code to demonstrate working of
# Interconvert Tuple to Byte Integer
# Tuple -> Byte Integer : Using int.from_bytes()

# initializing tuples
test_tuple = (6, 8, 3, 2)

# printing original tuple
print("The original tuple : " + str(test_tuple))

# Interconvert Tuple to Byte Integer
# Tuple -> Byte Integer : Using int.from_bytes()
res = int.from_bytes(test_tuple, byteorder ='big')

# printing result
print("Tuple after conversion : " + str(res))

Output :

The original tuple : (6, 8, 3, 2)
Tuple after conversion : 101188354

Method #2 : Byte Integer -> Tuple : Using tuple.to_bytes()
The combination of above functions can be used to solve this problem. In this, we perform the task of conversion using internal method to_bytes() to obtain desired result.

# Python3 code to demonstrate working of
# Interconvert Tuple to Byte Integer
# Using Byte Integer -> Tuple : Using tuple.to_bytes()

# initializing integer
test_int = 101188354

# printing original integer
print("The original integer : " + str(test_int))

# Interconvert Tuple to Byte Integer
# Using Byte Integer -> Tuple : Using tuple.to_bytes()
res = tuple(test_int.to_bytes(4, byteorder ='big'))

# printing result
print("Integer after conversion : " + str(res))

Output :

The original integer : 101188354
Integer after conversion : (6, 8, 3, 2)
