Convert array to integer value

["Stephen Frackelton" <stephen.frackelton@baesystems.com>]

I have set up an array of integers, value 0..1, to simulate a word, 16 bits.

I need to convert this array of 0's and 1's from the binary value to its
corresponding integer value.

is there any simple way of doing this ?

All i can think of is for loop through the array and having a translation
table for each position within the array, i.e if bit 5 = 1 then add 16 to
total, if bit 6 = 1 then add 32 to total and so on.

any other ideas ?


thanks

Stephen
