Function F2Bin() Foundation

Converts a numeric value to a 64 bit IEEE floating point number.

Syntax
F2bin( <nNumeric> ) --> cBinary
Parameters
<nNumeric>
<nNumeric> is a numeric expression whose value is converted to binary format.
Return

The return value of F2bin() is an eight byte character string which contains the numeric value as a 64 bit IEEE floating point number.

Description

F2bin() converts numeric values in the range of a 64 bit IEEE floating point number to their binary representation. The function returns a character string with eight characters. The counterpart of F2bin() is Bin2f().

F2bin() can be used in connection with DllCall() and low level API functions which require a 64 bit floating point number as a parameter.

Examples
F2bin() 
// F2bin() is used just like L2bin(). The difference 
// lies only in the value range.
