A lesson for "non-binary" persons

00000000 <--- this is an 8 bit set, read right to left, first place is 1, next is 2, next is 4, next is 8, next is 16, next is 32, next is 64, next is 128. If 1, it's on, if 0, it's off, now sum.
Now you know how to convert BINARY to DECIMAL. No one asked me to teach you this.
You are welcome.
