It was shown in the text that the number of binary digits needed to represent a positive integer n is ⌊ log 2 n ⌋ + 1 . Can this also be given as ⌊ log 2 n ⌋ ? Why or why not?

To determine

The number of binary digits needed to represent a positive integer n is ⌊log2n⌋+1. Can this also be given as ⌈log2n⌉ ? Why or why not?

Explanation

Given information:

The number of binary digits needed to represent a positive integer n is ⌊log2n⌋+1.

Calculation:

Number of digits in binary notation of n=⌊log2(n)⌋+1

If the number of digits in the binary notation could also be represented by ⌈log2(n)⌉, then

⌊log2(n)⌋+1=⌈log2(n)⌉

However, this equality is not true for all integers n.

For example, if n = 8:

⌊log2(n)⌋+1=⌊log2(8)⌋
