encodes an integer value as a binary string

## NAME

PGAEncodeIntegerAsBinary - encodes an integer value as a binary string

## INPUT PARAMETERS

- ctx

  \- context variable

- p

  \- string index

- pop

  \- symbolic constant of the population the string is in

- start

  \- starting bit position in p to encode val in

- end

  \- ending bit position in p to encode val in

- val

  \- the integer value to be represented as a binary string

## OUTPUT PARAMETERS
