+#Write a method named binary_to_decimal that receives as input parameter an array of size 8. The array is randomly filled
+# with 0’s and 1’s. Assuming that the array represents an eight bit binary number with the most significant bit at index
+# 0 and the least significant bit at index 7, calculate the decimal value for this binary number using the algorithm you
+# devised in class. Return the decimal value.
+#
+# Note: Do not use Ruby functions. You may use .length method on the array and retrieve values at a particular index in
+# the array. Author using the algorithm you devised in class.
+#
+# You may however write your own versions of these methods
