Convert a binary number, represented as a string (e.g. '101010'), to its decimal equivalent using first principles.

Implement binary to decimal conversion. Given a binary input string, your program should produce a decimal output. The program should handle invalid inputs.

• Implement the conversion yourself. Do not use something else to perform the conversion for you.

Decimal is a base-10 system.

A number 23 in base 10 notation can be understood as a linear combination of powers of 10:

• The rightmost digit gets multiplied by 10^0 = 1
• The next number gets multiplied by 10^1 = 10
• ...
• The nth number gets multiplied by 10^(n-1).
• All these values are summed.

So: 23 => 2*10^1 + 3*10^0 => 2*10 + 3*1 = 23 base 10

Binary is similar, but uses powers of 2 rather than powers of 10.

So: 101 => 1*2^2 + 0*2^1 + 1*2^0 => 1*4 + 0*2 + 1*1 => 4 + 1 => 5 base 10.

Go through the setup instructions for Javascript to install the necessary dependencies:

https://exercism.io/tracks/javascript/installation

Please cd into exercise directory before running all below commands.

Install assignment dependencies:

$ npm install

Execute the tests with:

$ npm test

In the test suites all tests but the first have been skipped.

Once you get a test passing, you can enable the next one by changing xtest to test.

Once you have a solution ready, you can submit it using:

exercism submit binary.js

It's possible to submit an incomplete solution so you can see how others have completed the exercise.
