Clearly, my game is off at the moment... ;-)

Thanks guys.

Marc

Hi Bert,

First, I was very happy with my solution, but you win (see below)!

Best, Roland

bert.gunter <- function(x) {

+ sum(x * 2^(rev(seq(along=x)) - 1)) + }

marc.schwartz <- function(x) {

+ x <- as.character(as.numeric(x)) + b <- as.numeric(unlist(strsplit(x, ""))) + pow <- 2 ^ ((length(b) - 1):0) + sum(pow[b == 1]) + }

sum(x * 2^(rev(seq_along(x)) - 1)) ?

That was a nice quick distraction. Unfortunately, I am not the first to answer. :-( Anyway, I offer two solutions (which are different from the one of Marc Schwartz); I wrote it quickly but I hope they are correct.

Enjoy and thanks, Roland

a <- c(TRUE, FALSE, TRUE) b <- c(TRUE, FALSE, TRUE, TRUE)

bin2dec.easy <- function(binaryvector) { sum(2^(which(rev(binaryvector)==TRUE)-1)) }

bin2dec.recursive <- function(binaryvector) { reversed.input <- rev(binaryvector) binaryhelper(reversed.input, 0, 0) }

binaryhelper <- function(binvector, currentpower, currentresult) { if (length(binvector)<1) { currentresult } else { if (binvector[1]) { binaryhelper(binvector[-1], currentpower+1, currentresult+2^currentpower) } else { binaryhelper(binvector[-1], currentpower+1, currentresult) } } }

bin2dec.easy(a) bin2dec.recursive(a) bin2dec.easy(b) bin2dec.recursive(b)
