Python int 到二进制字符串？

Question

Are there any canned Python methods to convert an Integer (or Long) into a binary string in Python?

There are a myriad of dec2bin() functions out on Google... But I was hoping I could use a built-in function / library.

Answer 1

Python's string format method can take a format spec.

>>> "{0:b}".format(37)
'100101'

Format spec docs for Python 2

Format spec docs for Python 3

Answer 2

If you're looking for bin() as an equivalent to hex() , it was added in python 2.6.

Example:

>>> bin(10)
'0b1010'

Answer 3

Python actually does have something already built in for this, the ability to do operations such as '{0:b}'.format(42) , which will give you the bit pattern (in a string) for 42 , or 101010 .

For a more general philosophy, no language or library will give its user base everything that they desire. If you're working in an environment that doesn't provide exactly what you need, you should be collecting snippets of code as you develop to ensure you never have to write the same thing twice. Such as, for example, the pseudo-code:

define intToBinString, receiving intVal:
    if intVal is equal to zero:
        return "0"
    set strVal to ""
    while intVal is greater than zero:
        if intVal is odd:
            prefix "1" to strVal
        else:
            prefix "0" to strVal
        divide intVal by two, rounding down
    return strVal

which will construct your binary string based on the decimal value. Just keep in mind that's a generic bit of pseudo-code which may not be the most efficient way of doing it though, with the iterations you seem to be proposing, it won't make much difference. It's really just meant as a guideline on how it could be done.

The general idea is to use code from (in order of preference):

• the language or built-in libraries.
• third-party libraries with suitable licenses.
• your own collection.
• something new you need to write (and save in your own collection for later).

Answer 4

If you want a textual representation without the 0b-prefix, you could use this:

get_bin = lambda x: format(x, 'b')

print(get_bin(3))
>>> '11'

print(get_bin(-3))
>>> '-11'

When you want a n-bit representation:

get_bin = lambda x, n: format(x, 'b').zfill(n)
>>> get_bin(12, 32)
'00000000000000000000000000001100'
>>> get_bin(-12, 32)
'-00000000000000000000000000001100'

Alternatively, if you prefer having a function:

def get_bin(x, n=0):
    """
    Get the binary representation of x.

    Parameters
    ----------
    x : int
    n : int
        Minimum number of digits. If x needs less digits in binary, the rest
        is filled with zeros.

    Returns
    -------
    str
    """
    return format(x, 'b').zfill(n)

Answer 5

As a reference:

def toBinary(n):
    return ''.join(str(1 & int(n) >> i) for i in range(64)[::-1])

This function can convert a positive integer as large as 18446744073709551615 , represented as string '1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111' .

It can be modified to serve a much larger integer, though it may not be as handy as "{0:b}".format() or bin() .

Answer 6

This is for python 3 and it keeps the leading zeros !

print(format(0, '08b'))

Answer 7

A simple way to do that is to use string format, see this page .

>> "{0:b}".format(10)
'1010'

And if you want to have a fixed length of the binary string, you can use this:

>> "{0:{fill}8b}".format(10, fill='0')
'00001010'

If two's complement is required, then the following line can be used:

'{0:{fill}{width}b}'.format((x + 2**n) % 2**n, fill='0', width=n)

where n is the width of the binary string.

Answer 8

one-liner with lambda :

>>> binary = lambda n: '' if n==0 else binary(n/2) + str(n%2)

test:

>>> binary(5)
'101'

EDIT :

but then :(

t1 = time()
for i in range(1000000):
     binary(i)
t2 = time()
print(t2 - t1)
# 6.57236599922

in compare to

t1 = time()
for i in range(1000000):
    '{0:b}'.format(i)
t2 = time()
print(t2 - t1)
# 0.68017411232

Answer 9

I am surprised there is no mention of a nice way to accomplish this using formatting strings that are supported in Python 3.6 and higher. TLDR:

>>> number = 1
>>> f'0b{number:08b}'
'0b00000001'

Longer story

This is functionality of formatting strings available from Python 3.6:

>>> x, y, z = 1, 2, 3
>>> f'{x} {y} {2*z}'
'1 2 6'

You can request binary as well:

>>> f'{z:b}'
'11'

Specify the width:

>>> f'{z:8b}'
'      11'

Request zero padding:

f'{z:08b}'
'00000011'

And add common prefix to signify binary number:

>>> f'0b{z:08b}'
'0b00000011'

You can also let Python add the prefix for you but I do not like it so much as the version above because you have to take the prefix into width consideration:

>>> f'{z:#010b}'
'0b00000011'

More info is available in official documentation on Formatted string literals and Format Specification Mini-Language .

Answer 10

As the preceding answers mostly used format(), here is an f-string implementation.

integer = 7
bit_count = 5
print(f'{integer:0{bit_count}b}')

Output:

00111

For convenience here is the python docs link for formatted string literals: https://docs.python.org/3/reference/lexical_analysis.html#f-strings .

Answer 11

Summary of alternatives:

n=42
assert  "-101010" == format(-n, 'b')
assert  "-101010" == "{0:b}".format(-n)
assert  "-101010" == (lambda x: x >= 0 and str(bin(x))[2:] or "-" + str(bin(x))[3:])(-n)
assert "0b101010" == bin(n)
assert   "101010" == bin(n)[2:]   # But this won't work for negative numbers.

Answer 12

>>> format(123, 'b')
'1111011'

Answer 13

For those of us who need to convert signed integers (range -2**(digits-1) to 2**(digits-1)-1) to 2's complement binary strings, this works:

def int2bin(integer, digits):
    if integer >= 0:
        return bin(integer)[2:].zfill(digits)
    else:
        return bin(2**digits + integer)[2:]

This produces:

>>> int2bin(10, 8)
'00001010'
>>> int2bin(-10, 8)
'11110110'
>>> int2bin(-128, 8)
'10000000'
>>> int2bin(127, 8)
'01111111'

Answer 14

Using numpy pack/unpackbits, they are your best friends.

Examples
--------
>>> a = np.array([[2], [7], [23]], dtype=np.uint8)
>>> a
array([[ 2],
       [ 7],
       [23]], dtype=uint8)
>>> b = np.unpackbits(a, axis=1)
>>> b
array([[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0],
       [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1],
       [0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1]], dtype=uint8)

Answer 15

you can do like that :

bin(10)[2:]

or :

f = str(bin(10))
c = []
c.append("".join(map(int, f[2:])))
print c

Answer 16

def binary(decimal) :
    otherBase = ""
    while decimal != 0 :
        otherBase  =  str(decimal % 2) + otherBase
        decimal    //=  2
    return otherBase

print binary(10)

output:

1010

Answer 17

Yet another solution with another algorithm, by using bitwise operators.

def int2bin(val):
    res=''
    while val>0:
        res += str(val&1)
        val=val>>1     # val=val/2 
    return res[::-1]   # reverse the string

A faster version without reversing the string.

def int2bin(val):
   res=''
   while val>0:
       res = chr((val&1) + 0x30) + res
       val=val>>1    
   return res 

Answer 18

The accepted answer didn't address negative numbers, which I'll cover. In addition to the answers above, you can also just use the bin and hex functions. And in the opposite direction, use binary notation:

>>> bin(37)
'0b100101'
>>> 0b100101
37

But with negative numbers, things get a bit more complicated. The question doesn't specify how you want to handle negative numbers.

Python just adds a negative sign so the result for -37 would be this:

>>> bin(-37)
'-0b100101'

In computer/hardware binary data, negative signs don't exist. All we have is 1's and 0's. So if you're reading or producing binary streams of data to be processed by other software/hardware, you need to first know the notation being used.

One notation is sign-magnitude notation , where the first bit represents the negative sign, and the rest is the actual value. In that case, -37 would be 0b1100101 and 37 would be 0b0100101 . This looks like what python produces, but just add a 0 or 1 in front for positive / negative numbers.

More common is Two's complement notation , which seems more complicated and the result is very different from python's string formatting. You can read the details in the link, but with an 8bit signed integer -37 would be 0b11011011 and 37 would be 0b00100101 .

Python has no easy way to produce these binary representations. You can use numpy to turn Two's complement binary values into python integers:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> np.int8(0b11011011)
-37
>>> np.uint8(0b11011011)
219
>>> np.uint8(0b00100101)
37
>>> np.int8(0b00100101)
37

But I don't know an easy way to do the opposite with builtin functions. The bitstring package can help though.

>>> from bitstring import BitArray
>>> arr = BitArray(int=-37, length=8)
>>> arr.uint
219
>>> arr.int
-37
>>> arr.bin
'11011011'
>>> BitArray(bin='11011011').int
-37
>>> BitArray(bin='11011011').uint
219

Answer 19

Python 3.6 added a new string formatting approach called formatted string literals or “f-strings”. Example:

name = 'Bob'
number = 42
f"Hello, {name}, your number is {number:>08b}"

Output will be 'Hello, Bob, your number is 00001010!'

Answer 20

除非我误解了二进制字符串的意思，否则我认为您要查找的模块是struct

Answer 21

Here is the code I've just implemented. This is not a method but you can use it as a ready-to-use function !

def inttobinary(number):
  if number == 0:
    return str(0)
  result =""
  while (number != 0):
      remainder = number%2
      number = number/2
      result += str(remainder)
  return result[::-1] # to invert the string

Answer 22

n=input()
print(bin(n).replace("0b", ""))

Answer 23

numpy.binary_repr(num, width=None)

Examples from the documentation link above:

 >>> np.binary_repr(3) '11' >>> np.binary_repr(-3) '-11' >>> np.binary_repr(3, width=4) '0011'

The two's complement is returned when the input number is negative and width is specified:

 >>> np.binary_repr(-3, width=3) '101' >>> np.binary_repr(-3, width=5) '11101'

Answer 24

Somewhat similar solution

def to_bin(dec):
    flag = True
    bin_str = ''
    while flag:
        remainder = dec % 2
        quotient = dec / 2
        if quotient == 0:
            flag = False
        bin_str += str(remainder)
        dec = quotient
    bin_str = bin_str[::-1] # reverse the string
    return bin_str 

Answer 25

here is simple solution using the divmod() fucntion which returns the reminder and the result of a division without the fraction.

def dectobin(number):
    bin = ''
    while (number >= 1):
        number, rem = divmod(number, 2)
        bin = bin + str(rem)
    return bin

Answer 26

Here's yet another way using regular math, no loops, only recursion. (Trivial case 0 returns nothing).

def toBin(num):
  if num == 0:
    return ""
  return toBin(num//2) + str(num%2)

print ([(toBin(i)) for i in range(10)])

['', '1', '10', '11', '100', '101', '110', '111', '1000', '1001']

Answer 27

Calculator with all neccessary functions for DEC,BIN,HEX: (made and tested with Python 3.5)

You can change the input test numbers and get the converted ones.

# CONVERTER: DEC / BIN / HEX

def dec2bin(d):
    # dec -> bin
    b = bin(d)
    return b

def dec2hex(d):
    # dec -> hex
    h = hex(d)
    return h

def bin2dec(b):
    # bin -> dec
    bin_numb="{0:b}".format(b)
    d = eval(bin_numb)
    return d,bin_numb

def bin2hex(b):
    # bin -> hex
    h = hex(b)
    return h

def hex2dec(h):
    # hex -> dec
    d = int(h)
    return d

def hex2bin(h):
    # hex -> bin
    b = bin(h)
    return b


## TESTING NUMBERS
numb_dec = 99
numb_bin = 0b0111 
numb_hex = 0xFF


## CALCULATIONS
res_dec2bin = dec2bin(numb_dec)
res_dec2hex = dec2hex(numb_dec)

res_bin2dec,bin_numb = bin2dec(numb_bin)
res_bin2hex = bin2hex(numb_bin)

res_hex2dec = hex2dec(numb_hex)
res_hex2bin = hex2bin(numb_hex)



## PRINTING
print('------- DECIMAL to BIN / HEX -------\n')
print('decimal:',numb_dec,'\nbin:    ',res_dec2bin,'\nhex:    ',res_dec2hex,'\n')

print('------- BINARY to DEC / HEX -------\n')
print('binary: ',bin_numb,'\ndec:    ',numb_bin,'\nhex:    ',res_bin2hex,'\n')

print('----- HEXADECIMAL to BIN / HEX -----\n')
print('hexadec:',hex(numb_hex),'\nbin:    ',res_hex2bin,'\ndec:    ',res_hex2dec,'\n')

Answer 28

To calculate binary of numbers:

print("Binary is {0:>08b}".format(16))

To calculate the Hexa decimal of a number :

print("Hexa Decimal is {0:>0x}".format(15))

To Calculate all the binary no till 16::

for i in range(17):
   print("{0:>2}: binary is {0:>08b}".format(i))

To calculate Hexa decimal no till 17

 for i in range(17):
    print("{0:>2}: Hexa Decimal is {0:>0x}".format(i))
##as 2 digit is enogh for hexa decimal representation of a number

Answer 29

If you are willing to give up "pure" Python but gain a lot of firepower, there is Sage - example here :

sage: a = 15
sage: a.binary()
'1111'

You'll note that it returns as a string, so to use it as a number you'd want to do something like

sage: eval('0b'+b)
15

Answer 30

try:
    while True:
        p = ""
        a = input()

            b = a - l
            a = b / 2
            p = str(l) + p

Answer 31

I found a method using matrix operation to convert decimal to binary.

import numpy as np
E_mat = np.tile(E,[1,M])
M_order = pow(2,(M-1-np.array(range(M)))).T
bindata = np.remainder(np.floor(E_mat /M_order).astype(np.int),2)

E is input decimal data, M is the binary orders. bindata is output binary data, which is in a format of 1 by M binary matrix.

Answer 32

Along a similar line to Yusuf Yazici's answer

def intToBin(n):
    if(n < 0):
        print "Sorry, invalid input."
    elif(n == 0):
        print n
    else:
        result = ""
        while(n != 0):
            result += str(n%2)
            n /= 2
        print result[::-1]

I adjusted it so that the only variable being mutated is result (and n of course).

If you need to use this function elsewhere (ie, have the result used by another module), consider the following adjustment:

def intToBin(n):
    if(n < 0):
        return -1
    elif(n == 0):
        return str(n)
    else:
        result = ""
        while(n != 0):
            result += str(n%2)
            n /= 2
        return result[::-1]

So -1 will be your sentinel value indicating the conversion failed. (This is assuming you are converting ONLY positive numbers, whether they be integers or longs).

Answer 33

Here's a simple binary to decimal converter that continuously loops

t = 1
while t > 0:
    binaryNumber = input("Enter a binary No.")
    convertedNumber = int(binaryNumber, 2)

    print(convertedNumber)

print("")
