# Bin2Dec
|
|
|
|
**Tier:** 1-Beginner
|
|
|
|
Binary is the number system all digital computers are based on.
|
|
Therefore it's important for developers to understand binary, or base 2,
|
|
mathematics. The purpose of Bin2Dec is to provide practice and
|
|
understanding of how binary calculations.
|
|
|
|
Bin2Dec allows the user to enter strings of up to 8 binary digits, 0's
|
|
and 1's, in any sequence and then displays its decimal equivalent.
|
|
|
|
This challenge requires that the developer implementing it follow these
|
|
constraints:
|
|
|
|
- Arrays may not be used to contain the binary digits entered by the user
|
|
- Determining the decimal equivalent of a particular binary digit in the
|
|
sequence must be calculated using a single mathematical function, for
|
|
example the natural logarithm. It's up to you to figure out which function
|
|
to use.
