how to convert binary string to decimal?

Question

I want to convert binary string in to digit E.g

var binary = \"1101000\" // code for 104
var digit = binary.toString(10); // Convert String or Digit (But it          


        

Answer 1

Slightly modified conventional binary conversion algorithm utilizing some more ES6 syntax and auto-features:

1. Convert binary sequence string to Array (assuming it wasnt already passed as array)

2. Reverse sequence to force 0 index to start at right-most binary digit as binary is calculated right-left

3. 'reduce' Array function traverses array, performing summation of (2^index) per binary digit [only if binary digit === 1] (0 digit always yields 0)

NOTE: Binary conversion formula:

{where d=binary digit, i=array index, n=array length-1 (starting from right)}

n
∑ (d * 2^i)
i=0

let decimal = Array.from(binaryString).reverse().reduce((total, val, index)=>val==="1"?total + 2**index:total, 0);  

console.log(`Converted BINARY sequence (${binaryString}) to DECIMAL (${decimal}).`);
