[FBSL] Decimal to Binary

Having solved the Binary Digits task in mLite, I thought I'd have a go in FBSL. Kudos to the FBSL team for a very useful and powerful Windows scripting language. Even ABAP users can leverage it!

The code below, expressed in v3.5 RC form, follows the mLite fairly closely.

#AppType Console
function Bin(byval n as integer, byval s as string = "") as string
 if n > 0 then return Bin(n \ 2, (n mod 2) & s)
 if s = "" then return "0"
 return s
end function

print Bin(5)
print Bin(50)
print Bin(9000)

pause

It was during the testing of this code that it dawned on me that the mLite wasn't handling the binary 0; appropriately. Thus those who notice such things will discover a subtle change in the mLite posting.
