### Built-in JavaScript Binary to Decimal Conversion

Source: https://thimbleby.gitlab.io/algorithm-wiki-site/wiki/binary_to_decimal

Demonstrates the use of JavaScript's built-in `parseInt` function for converting binary strings to decimal numbers. This is the recommended approach for practical applications due to its efficiency and robustness.

```javascript
const binaryString = "100101";
const decimalNumber = parseInt(binaryString, 2);
console.log(decimalNumber); // Output: 37
```

### Binary to Decimal Conversion Algorithm (JavaScript)

Source: https://thimbleby.gitlab.io/algorithm-wiki-site/wiki/binary_to_decimal

This JavaScript function implements the described algorithm to convert a binary string to its decimal equivalent. It iterates through the string, performing the multiplication and addition logic. The conversion stops if a non-binary character is encountered.

```javascript
function binaryToDecimal(binaryString) {
  let decimal = 0;
  for (let i = 0; i < binaryString.length; i++) {
    const char = binaryString[i];
    if (char === '0' || char === '1') {
      decimal = decimal * 2 + (char === '1' ? 1 : 0);
    } else {
      // Stop conversion if a non-binary character is found
      break;
    }
  }
  return decimal;
}
```
