dec2bin
binary representation
Calling Sequence
[str]=dec2bin(x[,n])
Arguments
- x
scalar/vector/matrix of positives integers
- n
a positive integer
- str
a string or a vector of string
Description
Given x, a positive (or a vector/matix of
integers) integer, this function returns a string (or a column vector of
strings) which is the binary representation of x.If
dimension of x is superior than 1 then each component
of the colums vector str is the binary representation
of the x components (i.e str(i) is
the binary representation of x(i)). If the components
length of str is less than n ( i.e
length str(i) < n ), then add to str components the
characters '0' on the left in order to have componants length equal to
n.
Examples
// example 1 : x=86; str=dec2bin(x) // example 2 : // the binary representation of 86 is: '1010110' // its length is 7(less than n), so we add to str, 8 times the character '0' (on the left) x=86;n=15; str=dec2bin(x,n) // example 3 : x=[12;45;135] z=dec2bin(x)
