How do I extract a difit from a binary string

Hello,

I need to represent a decimal by a binary string and then extract in a loop one the digit at a time.

Something like

A=45;
B=dec2bin(A):
lb=Length(B);
C=strings(lb,1);
D=convertCharsToStrings(B);
for i=1:lb
    C=substr(D,i,1) % here I need to extract the digit. the line is just pseudo code
end

The line in the loop is not working.Any ideas?

Thank you

Tweaking your code —

A=45;
B=dec2bin(A)

B = '101101'

lb=length(B);
C=strings(lb,1);
% D=convertCharsToStrings(B);
for i=1:lb
    C(i)=B(i); % here I need to extract the digit. the line is just pseudo code
end
C

C = 6×1 string array
    "1"
    "0"
    "1"
    "1"
    "0"
    "1"

Character arrays and string variables behave differently. The ‘D’ variable will not work the way you want it to in this context.
