curprev 10:4610:46, 23 March 2019 213.152.162.89 talk 1,974 bytes +32 Fixed formula for bit-length. The old one was incorrect (gives wrong results for any n>=3 that is not a power of 2 wrong, e.g. for n=3: should be 2 but formula gave ceil(log_2(3) + 1)= 3). Replaced it with the formula that is actually stated on the wolfram reference page. Also gave an alternative representation, correctness of which intuitively follows from the fact that a l-bit integer can represent numbers up to n=2^l - 1 and therefore n+1=2^l and thus log2(n+1)=l undo
