bin() Builtin Function
Python - bin()
Python bin() builtin function is used to get the binary version of given integer value.
In this tutorial, you will learn the syntax of bin() function, and then its usage with the help of example programs.
Syntax
The syntax of bin()
function is
bin(x)
where
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
x | An integer. |
Examples
1. Convert integer to binary
In the following program, we take an integer value in x
and convert it to binary using bin()
function.
Python Program
x = 52
output = bin(x)
print(f'x : {x}')
print(f'bin(x) : {output}')
Output
x : 52
bin(x) : 0b110100
2. Convert negative integer to binary
In the following program, we take a negative integer value, and convert it into binary using bin()
function.
Python Program
x = -7
output = bin(x)
print(f'x : {x}')
print(f'bin(x) : {output}')
Output
x : -7
bin(x) : -0b111
