as.binary: as binary digit.

In rdiversity: Measurement and Partitioning of Similarity-Sensitive Biodiversity

as binary digit.

Description

Converts an integer (Base10) to a binary (Base2) number. It also converts a logical vector to a binary (Base2) number (see examples).

Usage

as.binary(x, signed=FALSE, littleEndian=FALSE, size=2, n=0, logic=FALSE)

Arguments

x	integer or logical vector.
signed	TRUE or FALSE. Unsigned by default. (two's complement)
littleEndian	if TRUE. Big Endian if FALSE.
size	in Byte. Needed if signed is set. (by default 2 Byte)
n	in Bit. Can be set if unsigned is set to TRUE. (by default 0 Bit = auto)
logic	If set to TRUE, x is expected as logical vector.

Details

The binary number is represented by a logical vector. The bit order usually follows the same endianess as the byte order. No floating-point support. If logic is set to TRUE an integer vector is intepreted as a logical vector (>0 becomes TRUE and 0 becomes FALSE)

• Little Endian (LSB) —> (MSB)

• Big Endian (MSB) <— (LSB)

Auto switch to signed if num < 0.

Value

a vector of class binary.
