Calculate Binary into Decimal

This is just a simpler way to convert from Binary to Decimal

Step one: Start off by making the following type of graph on paper


|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Let us first start off simple we want to convert 0101 0110 into decemal
We go about this in the following way


Power 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0

|2|2|2|2|2|2|2|2|
---------------------
|0|1|0|1|0|1|1|0|

The 1's are on and the 0's are off

Now we look at everything that is on so we have

2 to the 6th Power = 64
2 to the 4th Power = 16
2 to the 2nd Power = 4
2 to the 1st Power = 2

Add these up to get our decimal #

Decimal = 86

Now this was a simple one to give you an idea but its really easy just takes some time.

This is the first installment I will be going into further details later on how to change between HEX to Decimal and any way you want.
