Fixed version of java's Integer.parseInt(text) to work with negative numbers:
public static int parseInt(String binary) {
if (binary.length() < Integer.SIZE) return Integer.parseInt(binary, 2);
int result = 0;
byte[] bytes = binary.getBytes();
for (int i = 0; i < bytes.length; i++) {
if (bytes[i] == 49) {
result = result | (1 << (bytes.length - 1 - i));
}
}
return result;
}
