Re: Optional parameter to digits() / binary() functions for fixed vector size output

Dear all,

Would it be possible to add an optional parameter ‘len’ to ‘digits()’ and ‘binary()’ functions in order to pad the output on the left with zeros to give a vector of at least length ‘len’.

It is sometime useful to iterate over all representations of b^n-1 in base b (usually in base 2) and it would be useful to have digits(1, b, n) to return [0, 0, …, 1] instead of [1].


     Hi!

     Maybe forvec is your friend in that case.
