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)

  • The 'number' should be in the range -512 to 511.
  • DEC2BIN returns the NAN(error) value, when the 'number' is negative or nonnumeric.
  • '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.

For example,

DEC2BIN(10, 4) returns 1010

DEC2BIN(100) returns 0001100100

DEC2BIN(30,5.5) returns 011110

Examples

Function Binary Output
DEC2BIN(10) 0000001010
DEC2BIN(10,4) 1010
DEC2BIN(100,8) 01100100
DEC2BIN(-56) 1111001000
DEC2BIN(-512) 1000000000
