Python Data Structure: Read a string and interpreting the string as an array of machine values

Last update on January 06 2025 13:33:52 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Write a Python program to read a string and interpreting the string as an array of machine values.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

from array import array
import binascii
array1 = array('i', [7, 8, 9, 10])
print('array1:', array1)
as_bytes = array1.tobytes()
print('Bytes:', binascii.hexlify(as_bytes))
array2 = array('i')
array2.frombytes(as_bytes)
print('array2:', array2)

Sample Output:

array1: array('i', [7, 8, 9, 10])                                                                             
Bytes: b'0700000008000000090000000a000000'                                                                    
array2: array('i', [7, 8, 9, 10])
