I'm a newbie in Python and I have a problem with storing information. I've got a task from my 'mentor' and I don't know how to do that.I have array with numbers 0 and 1, e.g.
a=[1,1,1,0] I know that's integers, but he told I should keep it as bits. I was trying to convert my variable to number e.g:
a = 14 and then ab = bin(14).
But when I'm using sys.getsizeof() ab is bigger than a.I was trying to use bytearray() but I don't understand it, too.I was thinking that I know how a computer works, but that makes me confused.
How should I keep bits? What should I use? What should I read to understand it? and how to measure how big is my variable (sys.getsizeof() is okay for that? Or should I write it to a binary file?).We doing it to optimize memory.
