Converting eth_getBalance response into ETH

To convert the hex string response, measured in Wei to a decimal value measured in ETH. We need to complete two steps:

  1. Convert the hex response into decimal (Wei)
  2. Convert the Wei decimal into ETH decimal (10^18 wei = 1 eth)

Depending on what library or language you are using, there are several options here.

# conversion from hex string to decimal dec = int("hex strong response",16) # conversion from Wei to to ETH ethBalance = dec*(10**18)Parameters DATA, 20 Bytes - address to check for balance. QUANTITY|TAG - integer block number, or the string "latest", "earliest" or "pending", see the default block parameter . params: [ '0x6b00c03e0b14b98c92c8a3696d67f752ca8cb3df', 'latest' ] Returns QUANTITY - hex value of the current ETH balance for the given address, measured in wei.
