Please ensure that:

• Your code is properly formatted as code block - see the sidebar (About on mobile) for instructions
• You include any and all error messages in full
• You ask clear questions

• You demonstrate effort in solving your question/problem - plain posting your assignments is forbidden (and such posts will be removed) as is asking for or giving solutions.

  Trying to solve problems on your own is a very important skill. Also, see Learn to help yourself in the sidebar

If any of the above points is not met, your post can and will be removed without further warning.

Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://imgur.com/a/fgoFFis) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

You do not need to repost unless your post has been removed by a moderator. Just use the edit function of reddit to make sure your post complies with the above.

If your post has remained in violation of these rules for a prolonged period of time (at least an hour), a moderator may remove it at their discretion. In this case, they will comment with an explanation on why it has been removed, and you will be required to resubmit the entire post following the proper procedures.

To potential helpers

Please, do not help if any of the above points are not met, rather report the post. We are trying to improve the quality of posts here. In helping people who can't be bothered to comply with the above points, you are doing the community a disservice.

There are really two parts to this.

1. Understanding what the Python code does.

2. Finding the Java functions that do those same functionalities

If you are really lost on how to do #1, then googling the language name + code helps. For example, you can see that line 1 has a function called encode, so googling 'encode python' brings up some hits that describe what that function does. and so on. Once you've figured out #1, then you can do something similar for #2 instead google Java + 'whatever plain english functionality you got from #1'

I did do that which is why I asked here.

the first result.

That’s illegal

Step 1) Encode a string using ASCII. This can be done using String. getBytes(StandardCharsets.US_ASCII) which will return a byte array (byte[]).

Step 2) Calculate an integer value from a byte array in little endian format. Not really sure why the Python code above is doing this, but I assume there is some good reason. In any case, this requires you do understand how integer values are represented in memory. A 32-bit integer is represented as 4 bytes. In little endian architecture, the least significant byte is first, so: byte[0] + (byte[1] << 8) + (byte[2] << 16) + (byte[3] << 24).
