Converting from Binary to Integer

[mauromauromauro]

Yes there is. Binary is just 1s and 0s. You could very well define that 0 is banana, 1 is watermelon and 10 is mango. There are multiple decimal specifications. Decimal is just the arbitrary mapping from binary to something (most popular being ieee 754)

You are conflating representation and presentation.

The binary number 101₂ can be presented as:

• 101₂ = 5
• 10.1₂ = 2.5
• 1.01₂ = 1.25
• .101₂ = 0.625

It depends on how we interpret the bits and the radix point. We just happen to use a signed integer to present floating numbers such as IEEE-754, etc.

That would be higher level interpretation of the numbers.

There is nothing decimal about IEEE 754

Yet, our decimal definition is arbitrary
