【Python 学习笔记】binary to decimal conversion

Can you explain binary numbers to decimal number conversion?

Certainly! Converting a binary number to a decimal number involves understanding the place value of each bit in the binary number. Each bit in a binary number represents an increasing power of 2, starting from the rightmost bit (which is the least significant bit).

Example: Converting Binary 1101 to Decimal

Write down the binary number:

1101

List the powers of 2 from right to left:

2^3  2^2  2^1  2^0

Multiply each bit by its corresponding power of 2:

1 * 2^3 + 1 * 2^2 + 0 * 2^1 + 1 * 2^0

Sum all the products:

8 + 4 + 0 + 1 = 13

So, the binary number 1101 converts to the decimal number 13.

Here's how you can convert a binary number to a decimal number in Python:

binary_number = "1101"
decimal_number = int(binary_number, 2)
print(decimal_number)  # Output: 13
