Python's int type provides several useful methods for manipulating and converting integers. Here are some of the key methods:
1. bit_length()
Returns the number of bits necessary to represent an integer in binary, excluding the sign and leading zeros.
n = 37print(n.bit_length()) # Output: 6Copied!✕Copy2. to_bytes(length, byteorder, *, signed=False)
Returns an array of bytes representing an integer.
x = 1024print(x.to_bytes(2, byteorder='big')) # Output: b'\x04\x00'Copied!✕Copy3. from_bytes(bytes, byteorder, *, signed=False)
Returns the integer represented by the given array of bytes.
b = b'\x04\x00'print(int.from_bytes(b, byteorder='big')) # Output: 1024Copied!✕Copy4. bit_count()
Returns the number of ones in the binary representation of the absolute value of the integer.
n = 19print(n.bit_count()) # Output: 3Copied!✕Copy5. as_integer_ratio()
Returns a pair of integers whose ratio is equal to the original integer and has a positive denominator.
n = 10print(n.as_integer_ratio()) # Output: (10, 1)Copied!✕Copy Built-in Types — Python 3.14.2 documentation
