Syntax
result = Bin( value )

Parameters

You can specify binary, hex, or octal numbers by preceding the number with the & symbol and the letter that indicates the number base. The letter b indicates binary, h indicates hex, and o indicates octal.

# Examples

Below are examples of various numbers converted to binary:

Dim binVersion As String
binVersion=Bin(15) //returns "1111"
binVersion=Bin(15.5) //returns "1111"
binVersion=Bin(75) //returns "1001011"
binVersion=Bin( &hF) //returns "1111"
