Syntax:
stringvar = LongToBin(longvar)
Command Availability:
Available on all microcontrollers.
Explanation:
The LongToBin function creates a string of ANSI characters representing a Long’s binary value. It converts a number into a 32-character
string consisting of ones and zeros.
Note:
Supports Long variables only. For Byte variables use ByteToBin, for Word variables use WordToBin, and for Integer variables use IntegerToBin.
Example:
string = LongToBin( 1 ) ' Returns "00000000000000000000000000000001" ' <<< the LongToBin instruction
string = LongToBin( 254 ) ' Returns "00000000000000000000000011111110"Key line: LongToBin( 1 ) — returns a fixed 32-character binary string, since a Long occupies 4 bytes (32 bits) of storage.
