Convert a binary number, represented as a string (e.g. '101010'), to its decimal equivalent using first principles.
Implement binary to decimal conversion. Given a binary input string, your program should produce a decimal output. The program should handle invalid inputs.
Decimal is a base-10 system.
A number 23 in base 10 notation can be understood as a linear combination of powers of 10:
So: 23 => 2*10^1 + 3*10^0 => 2*10 + 3*1 = 23 base 10
Binary is similar, but uses powers of 2 rather than powers of 10.
So: 101 => 1*2^2 + 0*2^1 + 1*2^0 => 1*4 + 0*2 + 1*1 => 4 + 1 => 5 base 10
.
