Treehouse TeacherHi there! I drew up a chart and posted it on Treehouse in this thread not long ago. Take a look and see if it helps clarify things! Good luck!

Courses Plus Student 10,192 PointsIf you need any more assistance with binary, please let me know Abdulrahman. The chart Jennifer posted really helps. Once you have the positions down, it is pretty easy to convert binary to decimal and vice versa.

The answer is 7. It may be confusing at first but if you look at the digits separately it makes it much easier.
Reading from right to left and disregarding the zeros the first digit is 1, the second is 2 and the third is 4. Simply add these together and you get 7.
Another example would be 01001101 which would equal 77. Reading from right the left again and disregarding the zeros, the first is 1, the second is 4, the third is 8 and the forth is 64.
