Convert an integer to fixed-length binary format

Description

This is a wrapper function around intToBits that returns a bit code in fixed-length integer format. The code is based on an SO post by Paul Hiemstra, see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12088080/how-to-convert-number-into-binary-vector.

Usage

number2binary(number, no_bits, to_char = FALSE)

Arguments

number	An integer to be converted.
no_bits	integer. The desired length of the returned bit code.
to_char	logical. If TRUE, the resulting bit code is returned as merged string.

Value

A bit code in fixed-length integer format or, if to_char, a single character.
