I have to make a program that adds binary numbers together. The program has to
accept two binary values (up to 8 binary digits) and output their total in
binary. The output should not contain any leading zeros.
I have a problem in that I don't know how to limit the number digits to 8 as it
accepts however many digits you enter, I also want the program to ignore
anything other than 8-bit 0s and 1s. It is a python version 3.2.3
Here is my code:
def add_binary_numbers(num1, num2):
while True:
return num1 + num2
if len(str(num1)) > 8:
print("Please enter an 8 bit binary number")
continue
num1 = int(input('please enter the first 8 bit binary number: '),2)
num2 = int(input('please enter the second 8 bit binary number: '),2)
result = add_binary_numbers(num1, num2)
print('the result is', bin(result)[2:])
