Could you please help me with an answer to this question in a simple way for the beginner? This is a beginner level class so can you please help me. The code must have beginner level implementation. Can you also please explain what things do. Thank you!

Write a program that prompts the user for an 8-bits binary number and converts it to its decimal equivalent. The binary number will be entered as a string. Use the powers of 2 to convert each of the digits in the binary number to its appropriate power of 2 and then add up the powers of two to get the decimal equivalent. When the program is run, it should have output identical to this: Please enter an eight digit binary number: 01010011 The decimal equivalent of 01010011 is 83. Note here that the program does not need to check whether the input is an 8-bit binary string. It will assume input validity. If the input is wrong, the program will either error out or give a wrong result which will be acceptable for this assignment
