python binary string to an integer code example
Example 1: python binary string to int
>>> int('11111111', 2)
255
Example 2: convert binary string to base 10 value in python
def getBaseTen(binaryVal):
count = 0
#reverse the string
binaryVal = binaryVal[::-1]
#go through the list and get the value of all 1's
for i in range(0, len(binaryVal)):
if(binaryVal[i] == "1"):
count += 2**i
return count
