The bin()
function in Python is used to convert an integer number into its binary representation as a string. The resulting string starts with a prefix of "0b" to indicate that it represents a binary number.Here's the syntax for using the bin()
function:
bin(x)
The x
parameter represents the integer number that you want to convert to binary. It can be a positive or negative integer.
The bin()
function returns a string representing the binary representation of the given integer. The string will start with "0b" followed by the binary digits.
number = 10
binary = bin(number)
print(binary) # Output: 0b1010
number = -5
binary = bin(number)
print(binary) # Output: -0b101
number = 0
binary = bin(number)
print(binary) # Output: 0b0
In the examples above, we convert the integers 10
, -5
, and 0
to their binary representations using the bin()
function. The resulting strings are '0b1010'
, '-0b101'
, and '0b0'
, respectively.
