    copied!<p>In this Python code, I have the following problem. When the result is displayed, I get a bunch of zeros in the result (see below) - otherwise, the result is correct (the ending numbers of the string). Can anyone spot the error?</p> <pre><code>def menu(): binNumber = '' decNumber = float(input("Enter a positive number: ")) decNumber, binNumber = decimalToBinary(decNumber, binNumber) printResult(binNumber) def decimalToBinary(dec, bin): while dec != 0: remain = dec % 2 dec = dec / 2 if remain &gt; 0.5: bin += '1' else: bin += '0' return dec, bin def printResult(binNumber): print("The binary notation is:", binNumber[::-1]) # the last part is to reverse the string menu() </code></pre> <p>This is the result if I type "2"</p> <blockquote> <p>The binary notation is: 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000010</p> </blockquote>
