SUMMARY
Below is a QuickBasic SUBprogram that converts an integer to binary notation (represented in a string form). Both an integer and a string variable are passed to the SUBprogram and the result is returned in the string variable. The integer is broken down bit by bit and converted into its hexadecimal equivalent.
This code will execute correctly in Microsoft QuickBasic Versions 3.00, 4.00, 4.00b, and 4.50, in Microsoft Basic Compiler Versions 6.00 and 6.00b, and in Microsoft Basic PDS Version 7.00.
The code example is as follows:
DEFINT A-Z '__________________________________________________________________ ' ' IntToBin() takes an INTEGER argument and produces a ' binary string representation of the INTEGER. '__________________________________________________________________ ' SUB IntToBin (byte%, bin$) 'Add STATIC here to get SUB to bin$ = "" 'work in QuickBasic 3.00 temp% = byte% FOR i = 0 TO 7 IF temp% AND 1 THEN bin$ = "1" + bin$ ELSE bin$ = "0" + bin$ END IF temp% = temp% \ 2 NEXT END SUB
