[Tutor] ASCII hex to binary

[Alan Trautman]

Jimmy,

You have a two part problem. I'll try to include a description the step
needed to make a program that will work.
The first problem is splitting this long string into separate values
(parsing into discrete values in gobbledy gook).

The left function will allow you to grab the left most character which needs
to be looked at.

Ok confused?

Do you need the binary values for the sum or for each individual number? 

If its just the total grab each value convert it into its decimal equivalent
and add them together. Then just convert it to binary.

If separate values are needed I would put each position into a into a
dictionary probably with a decimal value. 

Then write a function that converts each to a binary value putting it back
in the dictionary. 

save the data as needed.

Has a nice description on how to convert to binary from decimal if that is
needed.

HTH,

Alan
