Python Data Structure: Convert an array to an array of machine values and return the bytes representation

Last update on January 06 2025 13:30:57 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Write a Python program to convert an array to an array of machine values and return the bytes representation.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import array
import binascii
a = array.array('i', [1,2,3,4,5,6])
print("Original array:")
print('A1:', a)
bytes_array = a.tobytes()
print('Array of bytes:', binascii.hexlify(bytes_array))

Sample Output:

Original array:                                                                                               
A1: array('i', [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6])                                                                            
Array of bytes: b'010000000200000003000000040000000500000006000000'
