Section: Type Conversion Functions
Converts a binary string to an integer. The syntax for its use is
y = bin2dec(x)
 where x is a binary string. If x is a matrix, then the resulting y is a column vector. 
Here we convert some numbers to bits
--> bin2dec('101110')
ans = 
 46 
--> bin2dec('010')
ans = 
 2
