Binary Decoder

A small Python practice project that converts binary input into decimal form.

The current script uses a hard-coded list of bits, builds the matching powers of two, and prints the decimal result.

Current Features

• Converts a list of 0 and 1 values into a decimal number
• Checks that the list contains only valid binary digits
• Shows the core conversion logic step by step in simple_binary_decoder.py

Project Files

• simple_binary_decoder/simple_binary_decoder.py - main decoder script
• requirements.txt - Python packages currently recorded for the environment

How To Run

From the project folder:

python simple_binary_decoder/simple_binary_decoder.py

The script currently decodes this value:

binary = [1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1]

To test another binary number, edit the binary list in simple_binary_decoder.py.

Future Ideas

• Accept binary strings, such as 01001000
• Accept space-separated binary blocks, such as 01001000 01100101
• Decode binary into ASCII text
• Add functions and tests so the decoder is easier to reuse

Notes

This is part of a Python learning journey, so the project is intentionally small and will grow over time.
