Get binary integer as input in python

Question

I am solving Jumping on Clouds question, and I know the algo for solving this problem. But my problem is with the syntax I have just now started my journey with python and to be precise I am stuck on this.

Requirement: I need to make an array of binary integer, plus it should either be 1 or 0 only. For example: [1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1]

I have tried my level best to achieve this but no luck.

MY Code:

Now what I have done is, to get the binary number of the integer element, and then slice it off by 4 to get the last digit of the binary number. But it doesn't work with every every integer. Since I want the 0 or 1 from the binary number.

c = []
for i in range(0, 6):
  c[i] = int(bin(any_random_number)[4:])

I have also tried of doing this, to check whether the input is 0 or 1, if not do not add it but no luck

Second Attempt:

c = []
for i in range(0, 6):
  data = int(input())
  if(data == 0 or data == 1):
    c[i] = data
  else:
    data = 0
    c[i] = data

Any help would be appreciated. I just want to learn this, and take it to my work. Thanks :)

Notice that you can't access c[i] if there is no i'th element in c. Use c.append(data) instead. — Daniel Nudelman

If you just want a random array of 0s and 1s you can use the random module

[random.choice([1,0]) for _ in range(0,6) ]

This will output a random array of 0s and 1s

As your second attempt getting the user input you need to use the append method.

c = []
for i in range(0, 6):
  data = int(input())
  if(data == 0 or data == 1):
    c.append(data)
  else:
    c.append(0)

No I want to take the input from the user only.
