[Python] 2's complement conversion

Overview

Mutual conversion of "numerical value" and "hexary string" in Python. Negative values are two's complement representations.

Code lambda

##2's complement conversion lambda
bits = 8

all_one = (1<<bits) - 1
int2ss = lambda i: hex(i & all_one)
## int2ss = lambda i: hex(i & ((1<<bits) - 1))

sign_mask = (1<<(bits-1))
ss2int = lambda s: -(int(s,16) & sign_mask) | int(s,16)
## ss2int = lambda s: -(int(s,16) & (1<<(bits-1))) | int(s,16)

Code function version

##2's complement conversion function version
def int_to_signed_string(i, bits):
    return hex(i & ((1<<bits) - 1))

def signed_string_to_int(s, bits):
    ss = int(s,16)
    return -(ss & (1<<(bits-1))) | ss

##for test
bits = 8
int2ss = lambda i: int_to_signed_string(i, bits)
ss2int = lambda s: signed_string_to_int(s, bits)

Test

test = [-128, -127, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 126, 127]
test_str_hex = []

for t in test:
    print(f"{t}: {hex(t)}, {int2ss(t)}")
    test_str_hex.append(int2ss(t))

print("---")

for t in test_str_hex:
    print(f"{t}: {int(t, 16)}, {ss2int(t)}")

Execution result. The left is before conversion, the middle is when 2's complement is not considered, and the right is when it is considered.
