convert decimal to binary and also change the binary wordlength

[nikhilvastarey]

Hello all

I want to convert a decimal to a binary digit ( which i know)

BUT

i also want to dynamically change the wordlength of the binary number.

in the sense,

if the formula VI comes up with an answer N, i want a N digit binary number....

                      or comes up with an answer N+1, i want a N+1 digit binary number....

I hope you are understanding what i am trying to say...

Thanks in advance....

more kudos to give 🙂

I don't think you can pad zeros programatically (that's what I understand you want to do). One way to get around this would be to typecast the binary value into a string and then concatenate the zeros. If I have not understood you correctly, let me know and be sure to include an example.

Wow that's an elegant way of doing it. I actually didn't know that; thanks...we learn something new everyday!

Hi Adnan,

Lurking on the forums is the best way to learn... by yourself : once you are fluent with LabVIEW, there are questions that sound like challenges... and lead you to dig deeper into LabVIEW.
