Honestly, I don't know if I'm using the best practices here for parsing the input, but here it is:

Code:

try: x = list(map(int, input("Enter an IP Address: ").split("."))) if len(x) == 4: total = 0 for i in range(0, 4): total += x[i] << (8 * (3 - i)) print("IP to decimal: " + str(total)) else: print("Invalid IP address.") except ValueError: print("Invalid IP Address.")

This just converts an IP address to it's decimal counterpart (which can be interpreted by things like Chrome), knowing the following pattern:

IP Address: 10.9.8.7
Decimal = (10 << 24) + (9 << 16) + (8 << 8) + 7 = (10 * 2^24) + (9 * 2^16) + (8 * 2^8) + 7 = 168364039

You did a pretty good job. I won't say much is wrong with it, but I will say that it can be shortened.

Spoiler: Shortened version

Code:

x,total = list(map(int, input('IP: ').split('.'))),0; if len(x) == 4: for i in range(0,4): total += x[i] << (8 * (3 - i)); print(str(total));

What does the ,0 do at the end of the first line?

Variables. We can split them with commas.
user1,user2 = 'duubz','.shebang'
You could think of it like a dictionary.
{user1: 'duubz', user2: '.shebang'}
It's basically the same as assigning the variables separately.
user1 = 'duubz
user2 = '.shebang'

Basically just saves space.

Heh, I was confused because I didn't notice the x,total at the beginning (thought it was x). Thanks for the help!

That's why perl is better

Why on earth are you doing multiple assignment when neither the variables nor their values are related? It uses more characters( albeit less lines ) and, as is evident, is much harder to read.

Are you talking to me or Duubz? I don't have multiple assignment in my original code.

That's why we need a fucking perl section here but @Oni isn't responding
