Combinatorial number system 601 and 1010001011 = 651, which again shows that "C" comes before "C"<nowiki>'</nowiki>. This number is not however the one one wants to represent the "k"-combination with, since many binary numbers have a number of raised bits different from "k"; one wants to find the relative position of "C" in the ordered list of (only) "k"-combinations. The number associated in the combinatorial number system of degree "k" to a "k"-combination "C" is the number of "k"-combinations strictly less than "C" in the given ordering. This number can be computed from "C" = { "c", ..., "c", "c" } with "c"
Binary logarithm Binary logarithm In mathematics, the binary logarithm () is the power to which the number must be raised to obtain the value . That is, for any real number , For example, the binary logarithm of is , the binary logarithm of is , the binary logarithm of is , and the binary logarithm of is . The binary logarithm is the logarithm to the base . The binary logarithm function is the inverse function of the power of two function. As well as , alternative notations for the binary logarithm include , , (the notation preferred by ISO 31-11
