put simply:

If we already have a number x, just use floor(log2(x)) + 1 to get it's size in bits

with a string of numbers that you don't know the size of, how would you do this?

could you use strtol?

that would turn string to int

[solemn wren]

how would I make it start as base 10 (let's say "8") and go to binary (1000)

you want to print number in binary form?

or string number to string binary?

[solemn wren]

string in base 10 to string in binary
