Tell me if i could shorten this code. (This code converts a binary number to decimal)

Question

binary = list(input('Enter a binary code: '))
binary.reverse()
power = 1
decimal = 0
for i in binary:
    if i == '1':
        decimal+=power
    power = power * 2
print(decimal)

Answer 1

By "shorten" I assume you mean to have less number of lines, right?

It's not less number of characters (e.g. by shortening variable names, such as power -> p).

It's not shortening execution time (i.e. making the code run faster).

You could do

print(int(input('Enter a binary code: '), 2))

See why, here.

Answer 2

I dont think you should cause in software's like c,c++,c# and python you need to be very good with your wording because if you add or remove any thing it will most likely go into error mode .No cap there friend
