BIN2OCT(number,places)
- Where 'number' is a binary number to be converted and
- 'places' is the number of characters to be used to display the output.
BIN2OCT converts a binary number to its octal equivalent.
Description
BIN2OCT(number,places)
- 'number' must be a binary number. Binary number is represented using digits 1 or 0 only. The number can also be entered in text format (e.g "101").
- Calci returns an #ERROR message if 'number' contains more than 10 characters (10 bits).
- If 'number' is negative, Calci ignores the places, if any and displays 10 digit octal output.
- If 'places' is not an integer, it is truncated.
- Calci returns an #ERROR message if 'places' are nonnumeric
- If 'places' is negative, Calci ignores the places and displays the octal output.
BIN2OCT(1100100) returns 144
