ahh.. help please... I am trying to conver binary to decimal.. but everytime I enter the binary number for 1, it gives me 255.. and I don't know what's wrong with it.. could someone look at it for me please.. I would greatly appreciated..

void binary()
{
cout<<"Please enter 0's and 1's and maximum of 8 places, no decimal or negative numbers"<<endl;
cin.get(num,8);
cin.ignore(80,'
');
for(a=0;a<8;a++)
{
bnum[a]=atoi(num);
}
if(((bnum[0]*128)+(bnum[1]*64)+(bnum[2]*32)+(bnum[3]*16)+(bnum[4]*8)+(bnum[5]*4)+(bnum[6]*2)+(bnum[7]*1))>256)
{
cout<<" Sorry sir/ma'me, you've entered an invalid number please try again"<<endl;
binary();
}
else
{
bin=((bnum[0]*128)+(bnum[1]*64)+(bnum[2]*32)+(bnum[3]*16)+(bnum[4]*8)+(bnum[5]*4)+(bnum[6]*2)+(bnum[7]*1));
cout<<bin<<endl;
        title();
    }
}

Your problem is in this block:

for(a=0;a<8;a++) 
{
  bnum[a]=atoi(num);  
}

Ponder it for a few and see what you come up with.
