Implement binary to decimal conversion. Given a binary input
string, your program should produce a decimal output. The
program should handle invalid inputs.
## Note
+
- Implement the conversion yourself.
Do not use something else to perform the conversion for you.
## About Binary (Base-2)

Decimal is a base-10 system.
A number 23 in base 10 notation can be understood
as a linear combination of powers of 10:

-## Making the Test Suite Pass
+## Running the test suite
-Execute the tests with:
+The provided test suite uses [Jasmine](https://jasmine.github.io/).
+You can install it by opening a terminal window and running the
+following command:
- jasmine <exercise-name>.spec.js
+```sh
+npm install -g jasmine
+```
-Replace `<exercise-name>` with the name of the current exercise. E.g., to
-test the Hello World exercise:
+Run the test suite from the exercise directory with:
- jasmine hello-world.spec.js
+```sh
+jasmine binary.spec.js

-In many test suites all but the first test have been skipped.

-Once you get a test passing, you can unskip the next one by
-changing `xit` to `it`.
+In many test suites all but the first test have been marked "pending".
