Bin Function

Purpose

Converts an integer expression to a binary string representation.

Syntax

Bin[$](m[,n])

Description

After conversion the binary representation of integer expression m is returned as a plain string.

The parameter n is optional and determines how many places (1 to 33) should be used to represent the number. If n is greater than the number of places needed to represent m the converted number is padded with leading zeros.

Example

OpenW # 1

Print Bin$(17)    // Prints 10001

Print Bin$(25, 6) // Prints 011001

Remarks

Without the optional $ character the function still returns a String data type and not a Variant.
