[R] binary numbers

[Samuel Edward Kemp]

Hi,

Is there a function in R that lets one represent an integer in binary 
format for a given number of bits? So an example would be....

 > binary.function(num=5, num.of.bits=8)
 > "00000101"

Or, is this something I have to write myself?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Sam.
