Cvs Function

Purpose

Converts four characters in a string from binary to IEEE single format.

Syntax

Single = Cvs(a$ [,offset% = 1])

Description

Cvs takes four characters starting at offset in a string as a number. Cvs(a$) is equivalent to Single{V:a$}. Cvs returns 0 if the string length is less than four.

Example

OpenW # 1

Print Cvs(Mks$(12.25)) // Prints 12.25

Local a$ = Chr$(123)

Local b$ = Mki$((1234))

Local c$ = Mkl$(12345678)

Local d$ = Mks$(1.23)

Local e$ = Mkd$(1.23)

Print Asc(a$)`Cvi(b$)`Cvl(c$)`Cvs(d$)`Cvd(e$)

// Prints 123 1234 12345678 1.23 1.23

Remarks

Cvs() is the reverse function of Mks$().
