So in this video, we're going to take a look at how to take a binary number and convert it to decimal. In the next video we'll go in the other direction, where we take a decimal number and we convert it to binary. But here, let's just remind ourselves that an IP version four address we said had four octets, and each of those octets contained eight bits. And if we take the decimal number on screen and write it in binary, it's going to come out and look like this. And we'll see how to go in that direction in the next video, but in this video let's say that we're starting with a binary string of digits, and we want to convert them to decimal, we want to convert the first, and second, and third, and fourth octets into decimal numbers, how do we do that? Well the good news is it's…
