# PGAEncodeRealAsBinary(3)

encodes a real value as a binary string

## NAME

PGAEncodeRealAsBinary - encodes a real 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

- low

  \- lower bound of the interval the val is defined on

- high

  \- lower bound of the interval the val is defined on

- val

  \- the real number to be represented as a binary string

## OUTPUT PARAMETERS

- side

  \-effect.

## EXAMPLE

```
Encode 3.14 from the interval [0,10] in 30 bits in bit positions
0--29 in string p in population PGA_NEWPOP.
PGAContext *ctx;
int p;
:
PGAEncodeRealAsBinary(ctx, p, PGA_NEWPOP, 0, 29, 0.0, 10.0, 3.14);
