Padded Binary String

[bplus]

I don't like those negative numbers!

Code: (Select All)

Do
    Input "What ever number "; whatevernumber
    bn$ = _Bin$(whatevernumber) 'the binary string returned by _BIN$
    dw = 8 'desired field width

    If Len(bn$) >= dw Then
        Print bn$ 'number already in desired width or even longer
    Else
        Print Right$(String$(dw, "0") + bn$, dw) 'left padded with zeros
    End If
    Print "Back to decimal? "; Val("&B" + bn$)
Loop Until whatevernumber = 0

And we haven't even gotten Real yet! like 3 and 1/3 ;-))
