{{DISPLAYTITLE:_BIN$}}
This function returns the binary (base 2) representation of any numeric value.
 
 
{{PageSyntax}}
: {{Parameter|binvalue$}} = [[_BIN$]]({{Parameter|number}})
 
 
{{PageParameters}}
* {{Parameter|number}} can be any [[INTEGER]], [[LONG]] or [[_INTEGER64]] value, positive or negative.
* {{Parameter|number}} can also be any [[SINGLE]], [[DOUBLE]] or [[_FLOAT]] value, but only the integer part of the value is converted in that case. That is, from the value ''-123.45'' the function would convert the ''-123'' only.
 
 
{{PageDescription}}
* The function returns the base 2 (binary) representation of the given {{Parameter|number}} as [[STRING]].
* Different from [[STR$]], this function does not return a leading sign placeholder space, so no [[LTRIM$]] to strip that space from positive numbers is necessary.
* [[VAL]] can convert the returned bin string value back to a decimal value by prefixing the string with "[[&B]]".
** Eg. {{InlineCode}}decimal = {{Cl|VAL}}({{Text|<nowiki>"&B"</nowiki>|#FFB100}} + binvalue$){{InlineCodeEnd}}.

This function returns the binary (base 2) representation of any numeric value.


Syntax

binvalue$ = _BIN$(number)


Parameters

  • number can be any INTEGER, LONG or _INTEGER64 value, positive or negative.
  • number can also be any SINGLE, DOUBLE or _FLOAT value, but only the integer part of the value is converted in that case. That is, from the value -123.45 the function would convert the -123 only.


Description

  • The function returns the base 2 (binary) representation of the given number as STRING.
  • Different from STR$, this function does not return a leading sign placeholder space, so no LTRIM$ to strip that space from positive numbers is necessary.
  • VAL can convert the returned bin string value back to a decimal value by prefixing the string with "&B".
    • Eg. decimal = VAL("&B" + binvalue$).


Availability

  • QB64 v2.1 and up
  • QB64-PE all versions


Examples

Example 1
Comparing decimal, hexadecimal, octal and binary string values from 0 to 15.
tabletop$ = " Decimal | Hexadecimal | Octal | Binary "
tablesep$ = "---------+-------------+-------+--------"
tableout$ = "  \ \    |      \\     |   \\  |  \  \  " 'the PRINT USING template

LOCATE 2, 10: PRINT tabletop$
LOCATE 3, 10: PRINT tablesep$
FOR n% = 0 TO 15
    LOCATE 4 + n%, 10: PRINT USING tableout$; STR$(n%); HEX$(n%); OCT$(n%); _BIN$(n%)
NEXT n%
Note
Although the decimal numbers 0-15 have a maximum width of 2 digits only, an extra space in the tableout$ template is needed when using the (fixed width string) slash output format, as STR$ values contain a leading sign placeholder space.
          Decimal | Hexadecimal | Octal | Binary

            9     |      9      |   11  |  1001
            10    |      A      |   12  |  1010
            11    |      B      |   13  |  1011

Example 2
Converting a binary value to decimal.
binvalue$ = _BIN$(255)
PRINT "Bin: "; binvalue$
PRINT "Converting Bin value to Decimal:"; VAL("&B" + binvalue$)
