Changing a decimal into a binary

[Bemoox]

So yeah I'm kind of new to python and I wanted to know how to change a decimal to binary

The following function uses built-in function divmod and recursion:

def dec2bin(num):
    ''' Convert a decimal integer to base 2.'''
    if num == 0:
        return ''
    num, rem = divmod(num, 2)
    return dec2bin(num)+str(rem)

>>> dec2bin(1234)
'10011010010'

Python has a built in also

 print bin(1234)
0b10011010010
