reversible “binary to number” predicate
What is the best way to convert binary bits (it might be a list of 0/1, for example) into numbers in a reversible way. I've written a native predicate in swi, but is there better solution ? Best regards Use CLP(FD) constraints, for example: :- use_module(library(clpfd)). binary_number(Bs0, N) :- reverse(Bs0, Bs), foldl(binary_number_, Bs, 0-0, _-N). binary_number_(B, I0-N0, I-N) :- B in 0..1, N #= N0 + B*2^I0, I #= I0 + 1. Example queries: ?- binary_number([1,0,1], N). N = 5. ?- binary_number(Bs, 5). Bs = [1, 0, 1] . ?- binary_number(Bs, N). Bs = [], N = 0 ; Bs = [N], N in 0..1 ; etc. Here is
