![]() ![]() ![]() But rather than do that, you can go with this solution on And one could accept sometimes having a 33bit number, or one could make sure that the number to convert is within range -(2^31)<=x<2^31-1. What is “2's Complement”?Ī solution could involve prepending a 0 for positive numbers, which I did in an earlier revision of this answer. It has the output starting with 1, which for positive numbers isn't proper 2s complement.Īnybody that doesn't understand the fact of positive numbers starting with 0 and negative numbers with 1, in 2s complement, could check this SO QnA on 2s complement. Some suggested x.toString(2) which doesn't work for negatives, it just sticks a minus sign in there for them, which is no good.įernando mentioned a simple solution of (x>0).toString(2) which is fine for negatives, but has a slight issue when x is positive. function createBinaryString (nMask) įor older browsers, polyfills exist for the following functions and values:Īs an added bonus, you can support any radix (2–36) if you perform the two's complement conversion for negative numbers in ⌈64 / log 2(radix)⌉ digits by using BigInt:Ī solution i'd go with that's fine for 32-bits, is the code the end of this answer, which is from (MDN), but with some lines added for A)formatting and B)checking that the number is in range. Here is the MDN example code for converting numbers into 32-bit strings. ![]() Importantly:īitwise operators treat their operands as a sequence of 32 bits (zeros and ones)īefore operations are applied the 64 bit floating points numbers are cast to 32 bit signed integers. MDN has a good overview of how bitwise operators work. There is no easy way to create a bit-string representation of this in javascript nor access specific bits. The internal representation of numbers is 64 bit floating point and some limitations are discussed in this answer. In this system negative numbers are written with minus signs just like in decimal. (123456).toString(2) will convert numbers to the base 2 positional numeral system. (for 64bit bitstrings see Patrick Roberts' answer) The positional number system, the binary representation in memory or 32bit bitstrings. The binary in 'convert to binary' can refer to three main things. ![]()
