DEC2BIN(number, padding)

• Where 'number' is the decimal integer to be converted and

• 'padding' is the number of characters to display the output.

DEC2BIN() function converts a decimal number to its binary equivalent.

Description

DEC2BIN(number, padding)

• DEC2BIN returns the NAN(error) value, when the 'number' is negative or nonnumeric.

• The 'number' should be in the range -512 to 511.

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

• DEC2BIN returns the NAN(error) value, whenever the 'padding' is nonnumeric, zero or negative.

• If 'padding' contains decimal value, Calci truncates the decimal point and uses the integer value as input.

Lets see an example,

DEC2BIN(10, 5) is 1010

DEC2BIN(100) is 100100
