The challenge
Implement a function that adds two numbers together and returns their sum in binary. The conversion can be done before or after the addition.
The binary number returned should be a string.
Examples:
add_binary(1, 1) == "10" (1 + 1 = 2 in decimal or 10 in binary)
add_binary(5, 9) == "1110" (5 + 9 = 14 in decimal or 1110 in binary)
The solution in Python code
There are multiple ways to solve an int to binary string problem in Python.
Option 1:
def add_binary(a,b):
return "{0:b}".format(a+b)
Option 2:
def add_binary(a,b):
return bin(a+b)[2:]
Option 3:
def add_binary(a, b):
return format(a + b, 'b')
