Short Answer 
The process involves defining two functions to convert text to binary: `text_to_binary`, which processes each character into its ASCII form, and `decimal_to_binary`, which converts that ASCII value to an 8-bit binary string. After prompting the user for input and converting the string, the final binary result is displayed using the `print()` function.
Step 1: Define Functions for Conversion
Begin by defining the necessary functions to convert text into binary. The first function, text_to_binary, takes a string as input and converts each character to its corresponding ASCII value. For each character, it calls the second function, decimal_to_binary, which actually converts the ASCII numeric value into binary format.
- Function 1: text_to_binary(text) – Converts each character in the input text to binary.
- Function 2: decimal_to_binary(decimal_value) – Takes a decimal number and returns its binary representation in an 8-bit format.
Step 2: Input and Output
Prompt the user to input the string they want to encode. Use the built-in input() function to capture the text. This text will be fed into the text_to_binary function to perform the conversion and store the result in a variable named binary.
- Prompt: Input the string you would like to encode:
- Output: The binary equivalent of the entered string.
Step 3: Print the Binary Result
Finally, display the resulting binary code to the user using the print() function. This provides a clear output of the binary representation of the input text, allowing the user to verify the conversion.
- Use: print(binary) to display the outcome.
- Outcome: A visible result of the converted binary string on the screen.
