How to convert decimal into binary?

Hello,
I need to convert n-bit decimal into 2^n bit binary number. I do not have much idea. Can anybody help me please?

What exactly is a "n bit decimal"? Integer or floating point values? What about dec2bin?
It is integer. I have tried:
n= 8;
for i = 0:2^n-1
x = dec2bin(i,8);
end
It's showing, x= 11111111
But I need the values of x=0.......2^8 in binary
2^8 or 2^8-1 ?
Get rid of the loop:
>> V = 0:pow2(8)-1;
>> dec2bin(V)
ans =
00000000
00000001
00000010
00000011
00000100
00000101
00000110
00000111
00001000
00001001
00001010
... lots of rows here
11111010
11111011
11111100
11111101
11111110
11111111

This code shows '11111111' only, because you overwrite the output in each iteration:
n= 8;
for i = 0:2^n-1
x = dec2bin(i,8);
end
Therefore x contains the last value only: dec2bin(2^n-1, 8).
Better:
x = dec2bin(0:2^n-1, 8);
Or if you really want a loop:
n = 8;
x = repmat(' ', 2^n-1, 8); % Pre-allocate
for i = 0:2^n-1
x(i+1, :) = dec2bin(i,8);
end
x
[EDITED] If you want the numbers 0 and 1 instead of a char matrix with '0' and '1', either subtract '0':
x = dec2bin(0:2^n-1, 8) - '0';
But to avoid the conversion to a char and back again, you can write an easy function also:
function B = Dec2BinNumeric(D, N)
B = rem(floor(D(:) ./ bitshift(1, N-1:-1:0)), 2);
end
% [EDITED] pow2(n) reülaced by faster bitshift(1, n)
PS. You see, the underlying maths is not complicated.

yes, that's working. Thank you so much.
Problem is that it's showing string value say, ''11111111'' but i will have to get double array something like ''1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1''. i think it's not possible using dec2bin. I am using Matlab2016a. so it's not possible to use ''decimalToBinaryVector''. colud you please help me know in this regard?

To convert from '1010' to [1 0 1 0], see [EDITED] in my answer.
If i run your function code it's showing error,''Not enough input arguments.''
What arguments did you pass to Dec2BinNumeric ?
Call it e.g. like:
B = Dec2BinNumeric(17, 8)
i will have to convert for ''n'' having higher values as like n=1000000.
Anyway, ''x = dec2bin(0:2^n-1, 8) - '0';'' this is working properly. thanks!
A one-million bit binary number cannot be converted to a double precision value.
If
dec2bin(0:2^n-1, 8) - '0'
is working, calling
Dec2BinNumeric(0:2^n-1, 8)
is not a serious difference.

i have string of number [240 25 32 32]
i want to convert them in binary
how can i do this???

Do no attach a new question as an asnwer of another one.
Did you read this thread? dec2bin has been suggested already, as well as a hand made solution Dec2BinNumeric. Simply use them.
I know it is late but somwhow it may help
bin_array=dec2bin(array,8)-'0';

function A = binary_numbers(n)
A = double(dec2bin(0:((2^n)-1),n))-48;
end

Why 48?
I know the answer, but other people reading your code might not, so I would recommend either a comment or a different representation.
Maybe a late reply, but dec2bin return as string of ASCII characters, where 0-9 are mapped on character number 48-57.
