Wanting someone to do your school work for you, heh? (An old teacher can spot these attempts.!) Your problem isn't coding, it is understanding base conversion math.
7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 N = 1*2 + 0*2 + 1*2 + 0*2 + 1*2 + 1*2 + 1*2 + 1*2 10
7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 N = h*2 + g*2 + f*2 + e*2 + d*2 + c*2 + b*2 + a*2 10
See the pattern? Can you write a loop that indexes from 0 to 7, parses a binary number, hgfedcba, and sums the terms? JLK

Real simple question but I am pretty much a beginner here: How would I write a function in c be to convert from st input a binary number to output a base ten number? 10101111 entered would be output 175 or 1.75 x 10^2. (Or does this function exist, but I don't know it?)
I know it has to be easy but still been spending about an hour now with incorrect results.
Thanks
