/**

function digits(n) { return 1+Math.floor(Math.log(n)/Math.log(10));
}
Yes, javascript doesn’t have a Math.log10() function.
I tried doing it by dividing by Math.ln10 constant but the function won’t return the correct number of digits when you pass numbers like 100,1000,10000,etc. So I just divided by Math.log(10) and it seems to work.
As great as EBS volumes are on Amazon Web Services, they can break and not ever mount again, even though your data could still be there intact, a simple corruption on the filesystem structure can cause a lot of damage. On this post I teach you how to move all that data onto a new […]
Don’t you hate when the wrong floor has been selected by someone and then everybody in the elevator has to pay with time for that error. Enter the UNDO button for elevators. Such a simple idea. It could work in 2 ways. 1. You press the button and it unselects the last button pressed, and […]
I know your post is old, but I was looking for this and found the following is actually faster:
function digits(n) { return ( n + “” ).length };
It tends to run about 25% faster. (To see this do it in a loop 10000000 times or so)
