Python – Convert Hex to Decimal

Convert Hex to Decimal

To convert a given hexadecimal number to a decimal number in Python, call the builtin function int() and pass the hex number, and base=16 as arguments. int() converts the given value using the specified base, and returns the decimal number.

h = input('Enter hex : ')
d = int(h, base=16)
print('Decimal :', d)

Output #1

Enter hex : A2
Decimal : 162

Output #2

Enter hex : FFFA
Decimal : 65530
