Question

How do I get the value of a certain bit from a byte or integer? The only similar answer that I’ve been able to find is for a specific character inside a string. I am trying to convert a binary number to a decimal number, and perhaps there is a much simpler way to do this, but I was thinking of this: multiplying 2^(position of integer from right) by either a 1 or 0, depending on the value of the integer at the position previously mentioned. Any tips?

Answer 1

NSString * binary = @"0011010";
long value = strtol([b UTF8String], NULL, 2);
