no

Thanks; I learned a new function and new method!

i knew count was a builtin function, but at the last minute i made a confusion with Counter from the Collection module, then i used a for loop to count, now im dumbfounded lol. great solution.

nice

Why i used counter i dont know :d

Is it really a good idea? It looks like an yoyo code to me which it convert the number to string in binary representation, and then convert it back to number by counting the number of "1"s.

thank you

you need to use the spoiler flag when discussing code solutions / methods. i have added the flag to your comment

I was just being cheeky. ;D

And yes @Mitchees I did successfully build my binary conversion function!

Why is providing a functional solution cheating? If we want to write our own binary converters we can go do this test in C!

This is my first experience of facing coding challenge and it was so cool....
