====== Bcd2Bin ======
''Variable = BCD2BIN(bcdvalue)''
| //Variable// | Variable to store results (returns ''Long'')|
| //bcdvalue// | BCD value to convert to binary |
''Bcd2Bin'' converts a BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) number into a normal binary number, CUBLOC BASIC's default number format. BCD is a way of expressing values as decimals. For example, the number 3451 in binary is as shown below:
The following is 3451 converted to BCD code. As you can see, each 4 bits represent one of the digits.
This command is useful when the user needs to convert a variable for a device such as a 7 segment display, or a real-time clock.
Dim A As Integer
A = Bcd2bin(&h1234)
Debug Dec A ' Print 1234
