How to Convert Int to Binary in Python?

To convert an integer (int) to binary in Python, you can use the built-in bin() function. Here’s how:

# Sample integer
number = 10

# Convert integer to binary
binary_number = bin(number)

# Print the binary representation
print(binary_number)

Output:

0b1010

The bin() function takes an integer as an argument and returns its binary representation as a string with a prefix of 0b. In the example above, bin(10) returns the string ‘0b1010’, which represents the binary value of 10.

You can remove the 0b prefix by using string slicing like this:

# Sample integer
number = 10

# Convert integer to binary and remove prefix
binary_number = bin(number)[2:]

# Print the binary representation
print(binary_number)

Output:

1010

In this case, the bin() function is called as before, but we use string slicing to remove the first two characters (the prefix ‘0b’) from the returned string. The resulting value, ‘1010’, is the binary representation of 10.
