I see. So you want `binary.ones_complement` to accept a nonnegative Python `int` whose decimal expansion consists entirely of ones and zeros, interpret that decimal expansion as though it's a bit-string, complement, and then return another such Python `int`. Is that correct? Note that in that case, the output you'd get above would be `100100001110`, not `00100100001110`. Quite apart from whether this is a good idea or not, I can't see how this could even work. Can you please answer the following? 1. What would you expect `ones_complement(1100)` to return? (I'm guessing you'd expect a Python `int` with value `11`.) 2. What about `ones_complement(11111100)`? (I'm guessing that you'd also expect a Python `int` with value `11` here.) 3. What would `ones_complement(ones_complement(1100))` be? 4. What would `ones_complement(ones_complement(11111100))` be? _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/XCFO5ZK27CSP6QPPDWTUI6AZY2O22YRW/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
