"""
This Python script decodes the contents of '0.bin' and '1.bin' files, saving the results as plain text in corresponding txt files.

Requirements:
- Python 3

Description:
The script takes two binary files, 0.bin and 1.bin, as input and decodes their contents into ASCII plaintext using UTF-8 encoding.
The decoded text is then saved to two separate text files, decoded_0.txt and decoded_1.txt, respectively.
The purpose of this script is to demonstrate the decoding process and verify the functionality of decoding binary files into human-readable text.

Usage:
Run the script using a Python 3 interpreter. Ensure that the 0.bin and 1.bin files are present in the same directory as the script.
The decoded text will be saved in decoded_0.txt and decoded_1.txt.
