So, I found a snipped of code that did what I was looking for but I tried adding upon it to fit my need a little more. What I am trying to do is input an integer and return an 8 bit binary string to a list.
My first problem is that if the last digit is 0 with no remainder it stops the binary string.
Second I need this to a list instead of a string.
def binary(user, digits=8):
binary = ''
while user != 0 and digits <=8:
if user % 2 == 0: bit = '0'
else: bit = '1'
binary = bit + binary
user >>= 1
return binary or '0'
while True:
try:
user = int(raw_input("Enter an integer between 0 and 255: "))
n = str(user)
if user <= 255:
while user in range(0,256):
print "ASCII: ",chr(user)
print "Binary: ", binary(user)
break
except ValueError:
print "Please enter a valid integer."For example my binary string result if my integer was 76 would be 1001100 ... I really need that last zero.... 01001100
