WBin

Returns a number as binary wide-string text.

Syntax

Declare Function WBin ( ByVal number As UByte ) As WString
Declare Function WBin ( ByVal number As UShort ) As WString
Declare Function WBin ( ByVal number As ULong ) As WString
Declare Function WBin ( ByVal number As ULongInt ) As WString
Declare Function WBin ( ByVal number As Const Any Ptr ) As WString
Declare Function WBin ( ByVal number As UByte, ByVal digits As Long ) As WString
Declare Function WBin ( ByVal number As UShort, ByVal digits As Long ) As WString
Declare Function WBin ( ByVal number As ULong, ByVal digits As Long ) As WString

Parameters

• number
• digits

Description

Returns a WString (Unicode) representing the binary value of the integer number. Binary digits range from 0 to 1.

If you specify digits > 0, the result wstring will be exactly that length. It will be truncated or padded with zeros on the left, if necessary.

The length of the returned string will not be longer than the maximum number of digits required for the type of expression (32 for a Long, 64 for floating point or LongInt)

Return Value

Returns a binary WString representation of number, truncated or padded with zeros ("0") to fit the number of digits, if specified.

Remarks

Usage

result = WBin( number [, digits] )
