<p>This recipe shows how to find, via Python code, the number of bits needed to store an integer, and how to generate its binary representation. It does this for integers from 0 to 256.</p>

<p>This recipe shows how to convert numeric strings into integers, i.e. it emulates the Python int() function - partially. It does not handle negative numbers, floating point numbers, or numbers in other bases than decimal. It is only meant as a simple demo of the steps by which a string containing an integer value, is converted into an actual integer, in Python (and similarly, in other languages).</p>
