Yes, that is small thing that fixing would probably increase the efficiency, I 
just didn’t get my thought process there while making the tutorial. Thanks for 
the feedback :)

Could please explain the first part more? And the second part is inevitable 
when I can’t read or find c source code very well. The main reason I created 
this was to do things outside of C.

For 2, 4 and 5 the goal of this tutorial is not how to calculate logBASE 
**fast** , I’d just prefer if it was **not slow**. I prefer it to be clean, and 
my method makes more sense to be in general than any of the other binary stuff. 
I can’t be teaching others what I can’t wrap my own head around, although I do 
agree I should eventually learn this kind of stuff. Also, for number 5 afaik 
that is a log2 proc, not a logBASE and wondering if it could give the same 
speed and accuracy for other bases?
