convert string to bytes python code example

Example 1: bytes to string python

# utf-8 is used here because it is a very common encoding, but you
# need to use the encoding your data is actually in.
bytes = b'abcde'
bytes.decode("utf-8") 
'abcde'

Example 2: python string to bytes

s = 'abc'

# string to bytes using bytes()
b = bytes(s, encoding='utf-8')
print(type(b))							# <class 'bytes'>
print(b)								# b'abc'

# bytes to string using decode()
s = b.decode()
print('Original String =', s)			# Original String = abc
s = 'xyz'								

# string to bytes using encode()
b = s.encode(encoding='utf-8')
print(b)								# b'xyz'
s = b.decode()
print('Original String =', s)			# Original String = xyz

Example 3: convert int to binary python

# Python program to convert decimal to binary 
    
# Function to convert Decimal number  
# to Binary number  
def decimalToBinary(n):  
    return bin(n).replace("0b", "")  
    
# Driver code  
if __name__ == '__main__':  
    print(decimalToBinary(8))  
    print(decimalToBinary(18))  
    print(decimalToBinary(7))  
    
Output:
1000
1001

Example 4: python convert string to bytes

data = ""  			#string
data = "".encode()	#bytes
data = b"" 			#bytes
data = b"".decode() #string
data = str(b"")  	#string

Example 5: python convert string to byte array

a_string = "abc"
encoded_string = a_string. encode()
byte_array = bytearray(encoded_string)
print(byte_array)
