Python function same$\_$subnetconverts IP addresses and subnet mask to binary strings in order to determine if two IPv$4$ addresses are in the same subnet, returning a string indicating whether both IP addresses are in the same subnet or not.

Complete the Python function same$\_$subnet. The function should accept three strings representing two IP addresses and a subnet mask, determine if both IP addresses are in the same subnet, and return a predefi ned string statement indicating if both IP addresses are in the same subnet. def same$\_$subnet$($ip$1,$ ip$2,$ subnet$\_$mask$)$:

# convert IP addresses to binary strings

ip$1\_$bin $=\text{'}\text{'}.$join$([$format$($int$($x$),\text{'}08$b$\text{'})$ for x in ip$1.$split$(\text{'}.\text{'})])$

ip$2\_$bin $=\text{'}\text{'}.$join$([$format$($int$($x$),\text{'}08$b$\text{'})$ for x in ip$2.$split$(\text{'}.\text{'})])$

# convert subnet mask to binary string

subnet$\_$bin $=\text{'}\text{'}.$join$([$format$($int$($x$),\text{'}08$b$\text{'})$ for x in subnet$\_$mask.split$(\text{'}.\text{'})])$

# get network address portion for both IP addresses

subnet$\_$len $=$ subnet$\_$bin.count$(\text{'}1\text{'})$

network$1\_$bin $=$ ip$1\_$bin$[$:subnet$\_$len$]$

network$2\_$bin $=$ ip$2\_$bin$[$:subnet$\_$len$]$

# Predefined statement indicating if IP addresses are in the same subnet

x $=$ f$"\{$ip$1\}$ and $\{$ip$2\}$ are in the same subnet"

y $=$ f$"\{$ip$1\}$ and $\{$ip$2\}$ are not in the same subnet"

# Write a conditional expression to check if both IP addresses are in the same subnet

# and return the appropriate string output x or y$.$

# Write your code here.

# You may alter the code below to test your solution or print help documentation.

# Only the same$\_$subnet function will be graded for this assessment.

# print$($same$\_$subnet$(\text{'}192\mathrm{.}168\mathrm{.}1\mathrm{.}100\text{'},\text{'}192\mathrm{.}168\mathrm{.}1\mathrm{.}200\text{'},\text{'}255\mathrm{.}255\mathrm{.}255\mathrm{.}0\text{'}))$
