::::::Ok I assume when you say "decimal", you really mean "integer". Now I'm curious, there is a language that doesn't need any ''computation'' or ''string manipulation'' to produce a ''string'' of binary digits? --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 18:41, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
:::::::Yes. Some languages can output binary numbers natively.[[User:Markhobley|Markhobley]] 19:22, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
::::::::Fundamentally, all languages that run on binary computers output binary numbers natively. It's a matter of what they output those numbers to, and what constraints the language places on where they get those binary numbers from. ASCII is an example of direct binary output. But that might not be what you meant? --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 19:39, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
