Hello,
I've written a little (optimized) method to get a bit-string:
def bitstringneg(number, digits=32):
"""optimized for negative numbers"""
result = ""
for a in xrange(digits):
if number & 1:
result += '1'
else:
result += '0'
number >>= 1
return result
def bitstringpos(number):
"""optimized for positive numbers"""
result = ""
while number:
if number & 1:
result += '1'
else:
result += '0'
number >>= 1
return result
def bitstring(number, digits=32):
"""lsb------>msb"""
result = ""
if number < 0:
return bitstringneg(number, digits)
else:
return bitstringpos(number)
BTW: Is there something like a sizeof() method for int numbers?
