in C, I can do the following:
uint8_t number;
number++;
Note: If the number is >255, then is rolls over to 0.
How can I do it Python?
number += 1
if number>255:
number = 0
This looks for me not the optimal or pythonic way. Any ideas?
You can freely do all standard mathematic operations and whenever you need the output in byte range just use number % 256
instead of the number
. Or you can extend this approach to a class and define all standard operators (__add__()
, __neg__()
,...) there. Or you can use c_ubyte
datatype from ctypes module.
