Trinary

Convert a trinary number, represented as a string (e.g. '102012'), to its decimal equivalent using first principles.

The program should consider strings specifying an invalid trinary as the value 0.

Trinary numbers contain three symbols: 0, 1, and 2.

The last place in a trinary number is the 1's place. The second to last is the 3's place, the third to last is the 9's place, etc.

# "102012"
    1       0       2       0       1       2    # the number
1*3^5 + 0*3^4 + 2*3^3 + 0*3^2 + 1*3^1 + 2*3^0    # the value
  243 +     0 +    54 +     0 +     3 +     2 =  302

If your language provides a method in the standard library to perform the conversion, pretend it doesn't exist and implement it yourself.

Prepare submission

To submit your exercise, you need to save your solution in a file called trinary.jl before using the CLI. You can either create it manually or use the following functions, which will automatically write every notebook cell that starts with # submit to the file trinary.jl.
