Program Overview
This Python program reads a number x from the user and converts it to binary (base 2).
It then checks whether the result is a valid binary number.
Python Code:
def is_valid_binary(binary_str: str) -> bool:
return all(ch in '01' for ch in binary_str)
# Read input from user
x = int(input("Enter a number x: "))
binary = bin(x)[2:] # Remove '0b' prefix
if is_valid_binary(binary):
print(f"The binary representation of {x} is: {binary} (valid)")
else:
print("Binary output is not valid.")
Sample Output (input: x = 5):
The binary representation of 5 is: 101 (valid)
