Hello,
Using the combination of log2 and ceil - one can determine the vector length to store n number of addresses.
But this works well only when "number_of_addresses" is equal to or greater than 2.
For the number_of_addresses = 1 - The above fails and returns number_of_bits = 0.
Which is wrong - because to represent one address you need one bit...
Of course I can write a custom function to solve that, but for the sake of having fun - I decided to avoid that.
Do you have an I idea how to tweak the above to solve the case for the value: 1 ?

number_of_bits := integer ( ceil ( log2 ( real ( number_of_addresses ) ) ) ) ;But this works well only when "number_of_addresses" is equal to or greater than 2.
