Working With Binary

~Bean~ · February 3rd, 2006, 02:43 PM

I have a decimal number that I need to convert to binary, then retrieve the value of the nth digit as boolean...

For example:

5 decimal
equals 101 binary
what is second bit?

I can do it by converting to string, but I was hoping for a way using pure math

Beware of programmers with screwdrivers...

I don't think so, but like you suggested, I would convert to a sting to the the nth bit.

Have a look at BitArray class
