How to convert a signed integer in Python to an unsigned integer? This is a question that we regularly get asked in several lectures and forums across the internet, so let us do a quick tutorial about it.
Let us assume you have a signed integer, lets say having a value of:
i = -6884376
In this case, in order to convert this signed integer to an unsigned integer in Python, all you would have to do is to take a bitwise mask for a 32-bit integer (Here, we are assuming that your signed variable has a size of 32-bits) and bitwise logical and with the signed variable. The resulting value will be an unsigned integer value by Python, corresponding to the C unsigned variable you would normally see in C programming.
ui = i & 0xffffffff
Now, printing the value of ui results in the python equivalent unsigned integer value for i, which so happens to be:
>4288082920
