Variable = BCD2BIN(bcdvalue)

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
