# --description--
|
|
|
|
The `parseInt()` function parses a string and returns an integer. It takes a second argument for the radix, which specifies the base of the number in the string. The radix can be an integer between 2 and 36.
|
|
|
|
The function call looks like:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
parseInt(string, radix);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And here's an example:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const a = parseInt("11", 2);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The radix variable says that `11` is in the binary system, or base 2. This example converts the string `11` to an integer `3`.
|
|
|
|
# --instructions--
|
|
|
|
Use `parseInt()` in the `convertToInteger` function so it converts a binary number to an integer and returns it.
|
|
|
|
# --hints--
|
|
|
|
`convertToInteger` should use the `parseInt()` function
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(/parseInt/g.test(code));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`convertToInteger("10011")` should return a number
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(typeof convertToInteger('10011') === 'number');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`convertToInteger("10011")` should return 19
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(convertToInteger('10011') === 19);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`convertToInteger("111001")` should return 57
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(convertToInteger('111001') === 57);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`convertToInteger("JamesBond")` should return `NaN`
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert.isNaN(convertToInteger('JamesBond'));
|
|
```
|

|
```js
|
|
function convertToInteger(str) {
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
convertToInteger("10011");
|
|
```
|

|
|
# --solutions--
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
function convertToInteger(str) {
|
|
return parseInt(str, 2);
|
|
}
|
|
```
