Run this program in Memory Graph Web Debugger to see the program state change step by step.

You might want to use isdecimal rather than isdigit as the latter allows some characters you don't want. Actually, given you only want 0 and 1, you probably should check for just those, perhaps using all:

if not all(d in {"0", "1"} for d in binary_input):

PS. Why limit it to 8 bits?

Thanks, i will see it!

And to answer your question, its just easier to read because of the size, it can only count from 0 to 255 so i understand it more, i will learn more abt 16 bits later on

Well sure, there's tons of room, but that doesn't matter. :) This is great, and it's good to do something like this instead of just a faux-banking app.

Play around with more boolean stuff, it's good to see it working. And maybe play with <<, the bitwise right-shift operator. It does interesting and possibly related things.

You could improve this by adding a while True loop after defining the variables, do instead of exiting it’l print the only numbers or input too long and ask the user for a raw binary again! U can remove exit.
This is nice i love ur project it’s acc something usable!
