Congratulations! You’ve learned so much about integers and how to represent and convert them between Python string and int data types.

In this course, you learned how to:

Use str and int to store integers
Specify an explicit number system for an integer representation
Convert a Python string to an int
Convert a Python int to a string

Now that you know about str and int, you can learn more about representing numerical types using float(), hex(), oct(), and bin()!

that is why python is great: even if you think you already know about a topic, you end up learning new awesome features. In this case, for me it was the type representation using the colon notation here: f"{value:b}" … so cool!

Thanks much, good refresher, especially about using the ‘f’ formatted string.
