Convert from a lower base to base 10

Declare a function named convertToBase10 that converts a number from a lower base to base 10.

function convertToBase10(number, base) {  //}

Where:

• number is the number to convert.
• base is the base of the number.

Declare three variables named digit, power, and sum that will be respectively used to store the value of the last digit of the number to convert, the current value of the power to exponentiate the base, and the sum of each subsequent operation.
