Python | Check if a given string is binary string or not

Given a string str. The task is to check whether it is a binary string or not.

Examples: 

Input: str = "01010101010"
Output: Yes

Input: str = "geeks101"
Output: No

Approach 1: Using Set

  1. Insert the given string in a set
  2. Check if the set characters consist of 1 and/or 0 only.

# Python program to check
# if a string is binary or not
  
# function for checking the
# string is accepted or not
def check(string) :
  
    # set function convert string
    # into set of characters .
    p = set(string)
  
    # declare set of '0', '1' .
    s = {'0', '1'}
  
    # check set p is same as set s
    # or set p contains only '0'
    # or set p contains only '1'
    # or not, if any one conditon
    # is true then string is accepted
    # otherwise not .
    if s == p or p == {'0'} or p == {'1'}:
        print("Yes")
    else :
        print("No")
  
  
          
# driver code
if __name__ == "__main__" :
  
    string = "101010000111"
  
    # function calling
    check(string)

Output:


Yes





Approach 2:  Simple Iteration


    

  1. Iterate for every character and check if the character is 0 or 1. 
    2. 

  2. If it is not then set a counter and break.
    3. 

  3.  After iteration check whether the counter is set or not.
    4.
