One of the uses of binary numbers is to define subsets of a larger set. Today, you will demonstrate you knowledge of binary numbers by writing a function that generates a subset of a given string based off of a binary input.
Details
Write a function called compute_subset(binary_string,
masked_string), which has two parameters: a string of 1's and
0's, and another arbitrary string. Both strings must have the same
length. It should return a string, the characters from the masked
string from the locations that the binary string has a 1. These
characters should be in the same order as they appeared in the
original string.
Make sure your program handles all necessary cases gracefully. What additional test cases should you check?
Sample Test Cases
| Function Parameters | Sample Output |
|---|---|
| "11001", "HELLO" | HEO |
| "10000", "WORLD" | W |
