=HEX2BIN(number, places)=

*Where 'number' is the hexadecimal number to be converted, and

*Where <math>number</math> is the hexadecimal number to be converted, and

*'places' is the number of characters to display the output.

*<math>places</math> is the number of characters to display the output.

HEX2BIN() converts a hexadecimal number to its binary equivalent.

HEX2BIN() converts a hexadecimal number to its binary equivalent.

HEX2BIN("4F",4) ''returns 1001111''

*The 'number' can be maximum of 10 characters (40 bits). If it exceeds the limit, Calci gives a #NUM! error.

*The <math>number</math> can be maximum of 10 characters (40 bits). If it exceeds the limit, Calci gives a #NUM! error.

*Hexadecimal number uses numbers from 0 to 9 and characters from A to F. Hence, the number argument should be entered in quotes (e.g. "1FF").  

*Hexadecimal number uses numbers from 0 to 9 and characters from A to F. Hence, the number argument should be entered in quotes (e.g. "1FF").  

*The most significant bit of the number is the sign bit and remaining bits are magnitude bits. A negative number is represented in 2's complement form.

*The most significant bit of the number is the sign bit and remaining bits are magnitude bits. A negative number is represented in 2's complement form.

*Calci returns an #ERROR message, if the 'number' is not a valid hexadecimal number.

*Calci returns an #ERROR message, if the <math>number</math> is not a valid hexadecimal number.

*'places' argument is used to return the output with leading zeros. If 'places' argument is not used, 'Calci' uses the minimum number of characters required to display the binary output.  

*<math>places</math> argument is used to return the output with leading zeros. If <math>places</math> argument is not used, 'Calci' uses the minimum number of characters required to display the binary output.  

*If 'places' is negative, Calci ignores the places and uses the minimum number of characters required to display the binary output.

*If <math>places</math> is negative, Calci ignores the places and uses the minimum number of characters required to display the binary output.

*If 'places' is not an integer, Calci rounds the value and uses the integer part as input.

*If <math>places</math> is not an integer, Calci rounds the value and uses the integer part as input.

*If 'places' is less than the number of output characters, Calci ignores the places and uses the minimum number of characters required to display the output.

*If <math>places</math> is less than the number of output characters, Calci ignores the places and uses the minimum number of characters required to display the output.
