Reading letters from a 2d array

I have been trying to solve a problem I was given by a friend for the last week and nothing came to me. Here is the problem: Given a bidimensional array filled with 1 and 0, output the text encoded inside the array. For example, if we have the following array: 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 the output should be "HC".

First time I make something like this, took me about half an hour but glad it worked :) Just change the array I've made to the array you want and enjoy! https://code.sololearn.com/Wy8YULSy7WfQ/?ref=app

Sorry to disappoint you but your code doesn't do what I asked. Your code just converts each line of the array from base 2 to base 10 and then outputs the related character. I want to read the letters written in the array. In my example, 1s form an H and a C so the outputs is HC

In this case you'll need to put the H code and C code in two different subarrays. Can you show me other examples of expected outputs for the code you want?

This doesn't seem right man. These are 3 subarrays, each one represents a character. 01111100010001 = | 00010000010001 = D 00010000011111 = A I don't see how 3 subarrays are expected to output two characters like that.

No. If look closely you'll see that there is a T formed in the let left half and an U in the right halh
