Python Coding Challenge - Question with Answer (ID 150826)

 

Explanation:

1. int("11010", 2)

"11010" is a binary number.

The 2 tells Python to interpret it as base 2.

Binary 11010 = decimal 26.

int("11010", 2)  # 26

2. int("10101", 2)

"10101" is also a binary number.

Python converts it from base 2 to decimal.

Binary 10101 = decimal 21.

int("10101", 2)  # 21

3. ^ — Bitwise XOR

Now Python performs XOR:

  11010

^ 10101

-------

  01111

XOR rules:

Bit 1 Bit 2 Result

0           0             0

0          1             1

1          0             1

1          1             0

So:

11010

10101

-----

01111

01111 in binary = 15 in decimal.

4. print(...)

Finally, print() displays the result:

15

1. int("11010", 2)

• "11010" is a binary number.
• The 2 tells Python to interpret it as base 2.
• Binary 11010 = decimal 26.

int("11010", 2)  # 26

2. int("10101", 2)

• "10101" is also a binary number.
• Python converts it from base 2 to decimal.
• Binary 10101 = decimal 21.

int("10101", 2)  # 21

3. ^ — Bitwise XOR

Now Python performs XOR:

  11010
^ 10101
-------
  01111

XOR rules:

Bit 1	Bit 2	Result
0	0	0
0	1	1
1	0	1
1	1	0

So:

11010
10101
-----
01111

01111 in binary = 15 in decimal.

4. print(...)

Finally, print() displays the result:

15

✅ Final Output

15
