## Description
|
||
|
|
<section id='description'>
|
||
|
|
The <code>parseInt()</code> 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:
|
||
|
|
<code>parseInt(string, radix);</code>
|
||
|
|
And here's an example:
|
||
|
|
<code>var a = parseInt("11", 2);</code>
|
||
|
|
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
|
||
|
|
<section id='instructions'>
|
||
|
|
Use <code>parseInt()</code> in the <code>convertToInteger</code> function so it converts a binary number to an integer and returns it.

```yml
|
||
|
|
- text: <code>convertToInteger</code> should use the <code>parseInt()</code> function
|
||
|
|
testString: 'assert(/parseInt/g.test(code), "<code>convertToInteger</code> should use the <code>parseInt()</code> function");'
|
||
|
|
- text: <code>convertToInteger("10011")</code> should return a number
|
||
|
|
testString: 'assert(typeof(convertToInteger("10011")) === "number", "<code>convertToInteger("10011")</code> should return a number");'
|
||
|
|
- text: <code>convertToInteger("10011")</code> should return 19
|
||
|
|
testString: 'assert(convertToInteger("10011") === 19, "<code>convertToInteger("10011")</code> should return 19");'
|
||
|
|
- text: <code>convertToInteger("111001")</code> should return 57
|
||
|
|
testString: 'assert(convertToInteger("111001") === 57, "<code>convertToInteger("111001")</code> should return 57");'
|
||
|
|
- text: <code>convertToInteger("JamesBond")</code> should return NaN
|
||
|
|
testString: 'assert.isNaN(convertToInteger("JamesBond"), "<code>convertToInteger("JamesBond")</code> should return NaN");'
