How to convert hex to binary?

You can convert a hexadecimal number to binary by following these steps:

1. Convert each hexadecimal digit to its 4-bit binary equivalent.
2. Concatenate the binary representations of each digit.

Here's a Python code example that demonstrates this conversion:

def hex_to_binary(hex_number):
    binary_num = bin(int(hex_number, 16))[2:]  # Convert hex to binary and remove the '0b' prefix
    return binary_num.zfill(4 * len(hex_number))  # Ensure the binary string has the correct length

hex_number = input("Enter a hexadecimal number: ")
print(hex_to_binary(hex_number))

In this code:

• The int(hex_number, 16) converts the hexadecimal string to an integer.
• The bin() function converts the integer to a binary string.
• The zfill() method ensures that the binary string has the correct number of bits based on the length of the hexadecimal input.
