Jan Markus , your solution is unbeatable short and clear. here is an solution with bin() function: for integer 5 it will give: 0b101 so it contains a prefix "0b" that this number is a binary number. when converting these kind of numbers back to integer, it can be done with: int(0b101) => 5 If you don't need the prefix, it can be done like this, and then adjusted to the desired lenth: print(bin(a)[2:].zfill(8)) which results in : 00000101

how to do this with a lambda expression: to_bin = lambda num: to_bin(num//2) + str(num%2) if num else ""

I find no reason to use a lambda here: a, b = int(input()), 0 while a > 0: b.insert(0, a % 2) a // 2 print(b) But if you really want it in your code, you can do it like this: (lambda x: x % 2) (a) I only use them with map/filter and functions.

Jan Markus you are Genius sir! 🎉🎉 😉 you made my day! can we do this.. can't we convert that function(i shown in my attempt) into lambda expression??🤔 not a problem if "no" because your code is impressing.. 🎊 I am fell in love with "f-strings" ❤️
