generation of random binary numbers in python

Question

I want to print or plot list of binary numbers which are randomly generated. I have print and plot random numbers between 1 and 5000 and my code is as under;

generation of random numbers

for a in range(0, 5000): a=random.sample(range(0, 5000), 5000) print (a) plt.plot(a) plt.show()

This code is running perfectly. but I want Binary numbers instead of Decimal numbers. kindly help me in this regard.

To get the binary representation of your random generated number (decimal int) , use bin()

For instance, the following code will print 10 random numbers. in decimal and binary

import random

for i in range(0, 10):
    a = random.randint(0, 5000)
    print a, bin(a)

output:

1465 0b10110111001
1624 0b11001011000
2963 0b101110010011
510 0b111111110
3653 0b111001000101
3671 0b111001010111
2624 0b101001000000
4412 0b1000100111100
3910 0b111101000110
2582 0b101000010110

NOTE: in your example i saw some usage in matplotlib however you weren't explicitly asking about matplotlib so i answered more generally
