Decimal to Binary Representation

[ptc-5051640]

Hiya,

I have searched all of the functions in mathcad 15 but there is no function defined which could

convert a decimal to binary numbers. Kindly can anyone provide some guidance about the

subjected problem.

Regards and Thanks.

Hi,

select the result to display in binary,

then the menu "format", "result"

You should get a pop-up menu like this

Select the "Display Options" tab

And change the radix from decimal to binary, options for octal & hexadecimal also exist.

Regards

Andy

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, but this technique only display the decimal number to binary.

I want to use the decimal number in binary form for further computations.

Regards.

if you need to manipulate the bits of a nember then it becomes a little more difficult,

You will need the start writing subroutines to change the way that mathcad store the data.

Attached are 2 examples that you can use to create binary vectors from a decimal number and convert back again.

The built in logic elements can be used, but you may have to force the size of the vector to match to clear one possible error.
