How do you convert a number to binary without inbuilt function in python?
This function receives as a parameter an integer and should return a list representing the same value expressed in binary as a list of bits, where the first element in the list is the most significant (leftmost) bit. Show My function currently outputs For example,

it is probably the fastest way and it seems pretty clear to me. bin way is too slow when performance matters. cheers answered Jun 11, 2013 at 12:28
3 You can first use the format function to get a binary string like your current function. For e.g the following snippet creates a binary string of 8 bits corresponding to integer 58.
Now iterate the string to convert each bit to an int to get your desired list of bits encoded as integers.

unpackbits handles inputs of uint8 type only, but you can still use np.view:

Not really the most efficient but at least it provides a simple conceptual way of understanding it... 1) Floor divide all the numbers by two repeatedly until you reach 1 2) Going in reverse order, create bits of this array of numbers, if it is even, append a 0 if it is odd append a 1. Here's the literal implementation of that:
Here's a version that better utilizes memory:

2 How do you convert int to binary in Python?To convert int to binary in Python, use the bin() method. The bin() is a built-in Python method that converts a decimal to a binary data type. The bin() function accepts a number as an argument and returns its equivalent binary string prefixed with “0b”.
How do you convert a number to binary without 0b in Python?Python bin() Without '0b' Prefix
To skip the prefix, use slicing and start with index 2 on the binary string. For example, to skip the prefix '0b' on the result of x=bin(2)='0b10' , use the slicing operation x[2:] that results in just the binary number '10' without the prefix '0b' .
How do you convert a number to binary manually?To convert integer to binary, start with the integer in question and divide it by 2 keeping notice of the quotient and the remainder. Continue dividing the quotient by 2 until you get a quotient of zero. Then just write out the remainders in the reverse order.
How do you find the binary digit of a number in Python?Convert number into it's binary using bin() function and remove starting two characters '0b' of output binary string because bin function appends '0b' as prefix in output string. Now print length of binary string that will be the count of bits in binary representation of input number.
