In this tutorial, we will learn how to convert a decimal number to binary in Python. We will cover the basic concept of binary numbers and implement a function to perform the conversion.
Binary conversion is the process of converting a decimal (base-10) number to a binary (base-2) number. In binary, numbers are represented using only 0s and 1s.
The syntax to convert a decimal number to binary in Python is:
def decimal_to_binary(n):
return bin(n).replace('0b', '')
We can create a function to convert a given decimal number to binary using Python's built-in functions.
For example,
decimal_to_binary
that takes one parameter n
.bin
function to convert the decimal number to binary.replace
method.def decimal_to_binary(n):
return bin(n).replace('0b', '')
# Convert 10 to binary
result = decimal_to_binary(10)
# Print the result
print('Binary representation of 10 is', result)
Binary representation of 10 is 1010
