bin2dec

dec2bin

The function <code>bin2dec</code> Converts binary representations to digital numbers (e.g., 10101011 = 171). Fractions, (e.g., 0.11101) will be evaluated to the number of bits provided. The function will not handle codification of whole numbers with fractional parts. The function <code>dec2bin</code> Converts decimal representations to binary and can handle whole numbers, fractional, and numbers with both whole and fractional parts.
