function [x]=bdc(b0,b);
%  [X]=BDC(b0,b) 
%
%  Binary-to-Decimal  conversion 
%
% b0 : sign bit ( 0 represent + sign, and 1 represents - sign)
% y  : binary bits after the binary point
% x  : a constant in decimal
% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
% Example: x=-0.778; b=4;
%          [x]=bdc(b0,b);    % returns decimal result.
