OCT2BIN(number, places)
- Where is the octal integer to be converted and
is the octal integer to be converted and- is the number of characters to display the output.
is the number of characters to display the output.OCT2BIN() function converts an octal number to its binary equivalent.
Description
OCT2BIN(number, places)
For example,
OCT2BIN(15, 4) returns 1101
OCT2BIN(7.5,5) returns 00111
OCT2BIN(30,5.5) returns 011000
- The should be in the range '7777777000' for negative numbers to '777' for positive numbers. If it exceeds the limit, Calci gives a #NUM! error.
- If is not an integer, Calci truncates the value and uses the integer part as input.
- Calci returns an #N/A error, when the is nonnumeric.
- For a negative number, Calci ignores the places and displays a 10 bit binary output. Most significant bit is the sign bit and remaining are magnitude bits.
- argument is used to return the output with leading zeros. If argument is not used, 'Calci' uses the minimum number of characters required to display the binary output.
- If is negative, Calci ignores the places and displays a 10 bit binary output.
- If is not an integer, Calci truncates the value and uses the integer part as input.
- A number preceding with '0' (e.g. 077) should be written in text format ("077") to avoid confusion with hexadecimal numbers.
