"".join() turns a list into a string map() returns a list where each item is the result of applying the lambda to the range() lamda y: ..... is a function to be applied str() converts to a string x>>y shifts the bits of x right by y places 010 -> 001 & 1 bitwise ands with 1 which returns 1 if the last bit is one. put the bits together and it should be clear.
