# Binary String > Return a string giving the literal bit representation of an [unsigned 32-bit integer][integer].
## Usage ```javascript var toBinaryString = require( '@stdlib/number/uint32/base/to-binary-string' ); ``` #### toBinaryString( x ) Returns a `string` giving the literal bit representation of an [unsigned 32-bit integer][integer]. ```javascript var Uint32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/uint32' ); var a = new Uint32Array( [ 1, 4, 9 ] ); var str = toBinaryString( a[0] ); // returns '00000000000000000000000000000001' str = toBinaryString( a[1] ); // returns '00000000000000000000000000000100' str = toBinaryString( a[2] ); // returns '00000000000000000000000000001001' ```
## Notes - Except for [typed arrays][typed-arrays], JavaScript does **not** provide native user support for [unsigned 32-bit integers][integer]. According to the [ECMAScript standard][ecma-262], `number` values correspond to [double-precision floating-point numbers][ieee754]. While this function is intended for [unsigned 32-bit integers][integer], the function will accept [floating-point][ieee754] values and represent the values **as if** they are [unsigned 32-bit integers][integer]. Accordingly, care **should** be taken to ensure that **only** nonnegative integer values less than `4,294,967,296` (`2^32`) are provided. ```javascript var str = toBinaryString( 1 ); // returns '00000000000000000000000000000001' str = toBinaryString( 4 ); // returns '00000000000000000000000000000100' str = toBinaryString( 9 ); // returns '00000000000000000000000000001001' str = toBinaryString( 4294967295 ); // returns '11111111111111111111111111111111' ```
## Examples ```javascript var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' ); var round = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/round' ); var Uint32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/uint32' ); var toBinaryString = require( '@stdlib/number/uint32/base/to-binary-string' ); var x; var y; var b; var i; // Generate random unsigned 32-bit integers... x = new Uint32Array( 100 ); for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) { x[ i ] = round( randu()*1.0e5 ); } // Convert unsigned 32-bit integers to literal bit representations... for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) { b = toBinaryString( x[i] ); y = parseInt( b, 2 ); console.log( 'x: %d, b: %s, y: %d', x[i], b, y ); } ```
