Arguments

decimal_num	decimal number between 0 and (2^31) - 1
bits	number of bits to keep in the result counting from the right. Default value is 32.

Value

a binary string representation of the given decimal number.

Examples

# representing 0
dec_to_bin(0,1)
dec_to_bin(0,10)
dec_to_bin(0,32)
dec_to_bin(0)

# representing 24
