-Convert a binary number, represented as a string (e.g. '101010'), to its decimal equivalent using first principles.
+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 rightmost digit gets multiplied by 10^0 = 1
 - The next number gets multiplied by 10^1 = 10
 - ...
-- The *n*th number gets multiplied by 10^*(n-1)*.
+- The *n*th number gets multiplied by 10^_(n-1)_.
 - All these values are summed.
 
 So: `23 => 2*10^1 + 3*10^0 => 2*10 + 3*1 = 23 base 10`
