Parameters
| Parameter | Description | Example | Flags |
|---|---|---|---|
| NumberType | Which type of number to encode. Can be "Float", "Integer" or "UnsignedInteger". |
"Float" | |
| Bits | The number of bits. Can be 32 or 64 for float. Can be 8, 16, 24, 32 or 64 for integers. |
32 | |
| Number | The number to encode. | 123 | |
| BigEndian | Pass 1 to encode big endian. Default is 0 for little endian. |
0 | Optional |
Result
Returns hex text or error.
Description
Encodes a number as binary data as hex text.You can use Math.DecodeNumber to decode it again.
Examples
Encodes a 32-bit floating point number:
MBS( "Math.EncodeNumber"; "Float"; 32; 123.456 )
// 79E9F642
Encode 8 bit signed integer:
MBS( "Math.EncodeNumber"; "Integer"; 8; -56 )
// C8
Encode 64-bit unsigned integer:
MBS( "Math.EncodeNumber"; "UnsignedInteger"; 64; 1234567890123456)
// C0BA8A3CD5620400
Encodes number with big/little endian:
MBS( "Math.EncodeNumber"; "Float"; 32; 123,456; 1 ) & ¶ & MBS( "Math.EncodeNumber"; "Float"; 32; 123,456; 0 )
Encode number with big endian and extended to 16 bytes:
"000000000000000000000000" & MBS( "Math.EncodeNumber"; "Integer"; 32; 1234567;1 )
