Description

• 

The String command converts the input number to a base-2 string, by default in least-to-most significant bit order. Specification of the option msbfirst reverses the order in the output string to most-to-least significant bit order.

• 

The most common usage of this command would be for conversion of a number into a string of its base-2 digits.

The Split command is closely related, but the output for that command is a list of integers.

• 

The option bits=n tells String how many bits to consider in the conversion. Any bits in a higher position are simply ignored.

The number of bits can also be set via Settings.

Examples

(1)

(2)

lsbfirst is the default

(3)

msbfirst reverses the order
