Using this code to take a string and convert it to binary:
bin(reduce(lambda x, y: 256*x+y, (ord(c) for c in 'hello'), 0))
this outputs:
0b110100001100101011011000110110001101111
Which, if I put it into this site (on the right hand site) I get my message of hello back. I'm wondering what method it uses. I know I could splice apart the string of binary into 8's and then match it to the corresponding value to bin(ord(character)) or some other way. Really looking for something simpler.
