## @deftypefn {Function File} {} dec2bin (@var{n}, @var{len})
## Return a binary number corresponding the nonnegative decimal number
## @var{n}, as a string of ones and zeros.  For example,
##
## @example
## dec2bin (14)
##      @result{} "1110"
## @end example
##
## If @var{n} is a vector, returns a string matrix, one row per value,
## padded with leading zeros to the width of the largest value.
##
## The optional second argument, @var{len}, specifies the minimum
## number of digits in the result.
