Not sure what you mean by "binary". I normally regard binary numbers as only having ones and zeros. Thus {0,0,0,2} doesn't fit my idea of a binary number 'cos it has a '2' in it. Or does this sequence represent a 4-byte number, with each element having the range 0-255? In that last case the atom could be ((((s[1] * 256)+s[2])*256)+s[3])*256)+s[4] ---------------- cheers, Derek ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jonas Temple" <jktemple at yhti.net> To: "EUforum" <EUforum at topica.com> Sent: Friday, August 16, 2002 7:46 AM Subject: Binary conversion > > Okay, I asked this a while back and now I've got a slightly different > problem. > > If I have a sequence of {0,0,0,2} that is supposed to represent a binary > number, how do I convert that to an atom? > > Jonas > > > >
