Binary logarithm team sits out the second round). The same number of rounds is also necessary to determine a clear winner in a Swiss-system tournament. In photography, exposure values are measured in terms of the binary logarithm of the amount of light reaching the film or sensor, in accordance with the Weber–Fechner law describing a logarithmic response of the human visual system to light. A single stop of exposure is one unit on a base- logarithmic scale. More precisely, the exposure value of a photograph is defined as where is the f-number measuring the aperture of the lens during the exposure, and
Binary GCD algorithm Binary GCD algorithm The binary GCD algorithm, also known as Stein's algorithm, is an algorithm that computes the greatest common divisor of two nonnegative integers. Stein's algorithm uses simpler arithmetic operations than the conventional Euclidean algorithm; it replaces division with arithmetic shifts, comparisons, and subtraction. Although the algorithm was first published by the Israeli physicist and programmer Josef Stein in 1967, it may have been known in 1st-century China. The algorithm reduces the problem of finding the GCD by repeatedly applying these identities: The algorithm requires O(n) worst-case time, where n is the number of bits in the larger of
