• Seth: Can you clarify your question? Is this homework?
• GWW: Perhaps you should start by making sure you understand what these operators do: docs.python.org/library/…
• Falmarri: can any one would write a small program for me no
• Nomaan: Its not a homework its a task and need to understand and explain to other
• Falmarri: It doesn't matter if it's homework or not. We're not here to write code for you

Answer 1

I'll assume this question is legitimate and appropriate for the forum..

# To Encode:
r = 1
g = 2
b = 3
rgb = r << 16 | g << 8 | b
#To extract:
r = (rgb >> 16) & 0xFF
g = (rgb >> 8) & 0xFF
b = rgb & 0xFF

Answer 2

To convert a number to a list of it's binary digits: list(bin(number))[2:]
