I am reading four digital inputs and I need a way to convert those four

Multiply each bit by 2^n, where n is the "place" of the number.  Then add
the products together.  For example...

1011 = 1*2^0 + 1*2^1 + 0*2^2 + 1*2^3 = 11

The "zero" place is the one furthest to the right, and you work left from
there.
