bin() Function in Python

Python bin() Function

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.

Example:

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.
