Scratchers have complained about this for years, but nothing has changed.
So, a simple "turn a binary number into a base-10 number" program, which any 6th grader could write and understand, gets kind of complicated because the programmer needs to convert base 10 to base 2, which is easy for Algebra 2 students who knows logs, but not for 6th graders who barely have their heads wrapped around exponents.
Oh well. This will be a good opportunity to let the kids do some Python programming. The scratch version is shared.
