The instructions my prof. wants is this: Write a program that prompts the user for a binary number (from 3 to 8 bits) as a String and converts it to base-10 decimal value. There are several ways to do this in Java but your program must use a for loop and first principles to perform the conversion. Print the base-10 number when the loop ends... He sent me a diagram of the binary scale and i've never seen this scale before so I'm having issues with my program. public static int getDecimal(int binary) { int decimal = 0; int n = 0; while(true) { if(binary == 0) { break; }else { int temp = binary %10; decimal += temp * Math.pow(2, n); binary = binary / 10; n++; } } return decimal; } public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("11 binary to decimal: " + getDecimal(11)); //3 System.out.println("100 binary to decimal: " + getDecimal(100)); //4 System.out.println("0101 binary to decimal: " + getDecimal(0101)); //5 System.out.println("0110 binary to decimal: " + getDecimal(0110)); //6 System.out.println("0111 binary to decimal: " + getDecimal(0111)); //7 System.out.println("1000 binary to decimal: " + getDecimal(1000)); //8 } }
