Here is the code to change a number into binary code. Put
it into a button to test.
on mouseUp
ask "enter a Number"
if it = empty or the result = "cancel" then exit to top
put it into theNum
put baseconvert(theNum,10,2) into theConv
ask "Binary number" with theConv
end mouseUp
This will transfer any size of a number into a binary value.
For instance enter 7428 and it will show you a bunch of
0's and 1's and that is the binary value of your number.
