Re: convert a decimal to 32 bit unsigned binary

Xiaoyan,

Be careful. In the example you show, "36" is NOT a decimal number. It
looks like it is really a list of two separate integers, 3 and 6.

It is good that the example image showed the graphic mapping between
calendar days and bit positions, because the statement "Days of Month
Observed = 36" is badly constructed and very misleading. Maybe they should
have said "Days of Month Observed = 3 and 6".

So, what do you really want to do? Maybe convert a LIST of calendar day
numbers 1 to 31, to a 32-bit unsigned integer, using bit position encoding
as shown in this example?

Please reply only to the user list!
