(Poor Person's Logarithm) For this question, we will be given a number x and a base b and will find the smallest positive integer y such that by > x. For example, if x = 10 and b = 2, we would have y = 4 since 2³ = 8 < 10 < 2ª = 16. In order to solve this via loops, DO NOT use the built in logarithm functions. poor_log Function: Input variables: • a scalar representing x • a scalar representing the base b Output variables: • a scalar representing the output y described above A possible sample case is: > y = poor_log(8, 2) y = 3 >> y = poor_log(10, 2) y = 4 >> y = poor_log(16, 2) y = 4
