Algorithm: Convert 8-Bit Binary B to Decimal D

1. Input B;

2. Going from right to left, write the decimal values of the binary places underneath each place;
   1. To do this, start by writing 1 under the first place on the right;
   2. Then double each value as you move to the left;

3. 1. Add the decimal values that are underneath 1's;
   2. Let D = this number;

4. Output D;

5. Stop.

1. B = 11111111
2. B = 01101101
3. B = 10010010
4. B = 01111111
5. B = 00000010
6. B = 00000000

1. Steps 2a and 2b are an attempt to make step 2 more precise. Can you explain it in even more detail?
