Python built-in Method - bin()

The bin() method is a built-in function in Python that returns a binary representation of an integer as a string. The binary representation consists of a prefix '0b' followed by a sequence of 0 and 1 characters that represent the binary digits of the integer.

Here is the syntax for bin() method:

bin(number)

where number is the integer to be converted to binary representation.

Here are some examples of how to use bin():

print(bin(10))  # Output: '0b1010'
print(bin(255)) # Output: '0b11111111'

In the first example, the integer 10 is represented in binary as 1010, so the bin() method returns the string '0b1010'. In the second example, the integer 255 is represented in binary as 11111111, so the bin() method returns the string '0b11111111'.

The bin() method can be useful when you need to work with binary data, such as when manipulating bitwise operations or communicating with hardware that uses binary protocols.
