Given the input 19, the function would return the array
["double blink", "wink"] because 19 is 10011 in binary.

has caused the array to be reversed.
+## Exception messages
+
+Sometimes it is necessary to raise an exception. When you do this, you should include a meaningful error message to
+indicate what the source of the error is. This makes your code more readable and helps significantly with debugging. Not
+every exercise will require you to raise an exception, but for those that do, the tests will only pass if you include
+a message.
+
+To raise a message with an exception, just write it as an argument to the exception type. For example, instead of
+`raise Exception`, you shold write:
+
+```python
+raise Exception("Meaningful message indicating the source of the error")
+```
