Binary Representation
Literal bit representation.
bits(x, k = 54, pos_sign = FALSE, break0 = FALSE)
x |
a positive or negative floating point number. |
k |
number of binary digits after the decimal point |
pos_sign |
logical; shall the '+' sign be included. |
break0 |
logical; shall trailing zeros be included. |
The literal bit/binary representation of a floating point number is computed by subtracting powers of 2.
Returns a string containing the binary representation.
