WBin
Returns the binary wstring (Unicode) representation of a number

result = WBin( number [, digits] )
number
Returns a [[KeyPgWstring wstring]} (Unicode) representing the binary value of the integer expression. 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 [[KeyPgWstring wstring]} will not go longer than the maximum number of digits required for the type of expression (32 for an integer, 64 for floating point or longint)
will produce the output:

Return Value
Description
Returns a [[KeyPgWstring wstring]} (Unicode) representing the binary value of the integer expression. 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 [[KeyPgWstring wstring]} will not go longer than the maximum number of digits required for the type of expression (32 for an integer, 64 for floating point or longint)
Example
Print WBin(54321)
Print WBin(54321, 5)
Print WBin(54321, 20)
Print WBin(54321, 5)
Print WBin(54321, 20)
will produce the output:

Platform Differences
- Unicode (w)strings are not supported in the DOS port of FreeBASIC.
Dialect Differences
