You don’t need a chain of if statements for this. The idiomatic solution is to use bitwise operations to test each bit of the integer.

If you are using a Lua 5.3+ :

Lua 5.3 introduced native bitwise operators (&, ). You can iterate over each bit position and check whether it is set:

function intToBinaryBooleans(n, numBits)
    local bits = {}
    for i = 0, numBits - 1 do
        bits[i + 1] = (n & (1
