You are taking part in an Escape Room challenge designed specifically for programmers. In
your efforts to find a clue, you've found a binary code written on the wall behind a vase,
and realized that it must be an encrypted message. After some thought, your first guess is
that each consecutive 8
bits of the code stand for the character with the corresponding
extended ASCII code.
Assuming that your hunch is correct, decode the message.
Example
For code = "010010000110010101101100011011000110111100100001"
, the output should be
messageFromBinaryCode(code) = "Hello!"
.
The first 8
characters of the code are 01001000
, which is 72
in the binary numeral
system. 72
stands for H
in the ASCII-table, so the first letter is H
.
Other letters can be obtained in the same manner.
Input/Output
-
[execution time limit] 4 seconds (js)
-
[input] string code
A string, the encrypted message consisting of characters
'0'
and'1'
.Guaranteed constraints:
0 < code.length < 800
. -
[output] string
- The decrypted message.
