Question

To find the decimal value of 1111, that is 15, we can use the function:

(a) int(1111,10)

(b) int(‘1111’,10)

(c) int(1111,2)

(d) int(‘1111’,2)

I have been asked this question in an interview.

Origin of the question is Bitwise in chapter Precedence and Associativity, Bitwise & Boolean of Python

Answer 1

The correct choice is (d) int(‘1111’,2)

The best explanation: The expression int(‘1111’,2) gives the result 15. The expression int(‘1111’, 10) will give the result 1111.
