Parameters

Arg1: Object

The binary number you want to convert. Number cannot contain more than 10 characters (10 bits). The most significant bit of number is the sign bit. The remaining 9 bits are magnitude bits. Negative numbers are represented using two's-complement notation.

If number is negative, Bin2Oct ignores places and returns a 10-character octal number.

If Bin2Oct requires more than places characters, it generates an error.

If places is not an integer, it is truncated.

If places is nonnumeric, Bin2Oct generates an error.
