Number to Boolean String

[David_L]

The LabVIEW String/Number Conversion Palette contains many functions to convert a number to a Decimal, Hex, Octal, Fractional, Exponential and Engineering Strings.  However there is one missing: The Number to Boolean/Binary String.  This can be replicated very easily with the following code, but should be a native function of LabVIEW.

Well, you certainly could do all of that.

Or, you can just do this:

I agree, though, that the function would be useful.

Side-note: This must be the first Rube Goldberg that we've seen in the LabVIEW Idea Exchange.

Well I feel dumb.  I did not know that function existed.  Seems like I learned something new today!

And the winner is....

 

smercurio_fc, and close to 25x faster in certain cases! Might be good if someone verified the attached quick and dirty code... It's not exhaustively conclusive, but it's telling nonetheless.

Still, the code is not exactly the same, and a binary format version would actually be welcome in the "String/Number conversion" palette.

Remember that the built-in versions also work for arrays directly without extra code.

I think I actually support the idea. 😄

Sounds like a good idea.

Where it would get interesting would be what binary format it would output it in. (1s compliment, 2s compliment etc).

I am for a built in function. Kudos....

Can anyone tell me what's the name of the component in second solution?
