Function: sizedigit Section: conversions C-Name: sizedigit Prototype: lG Help: sizedigit(x): rough upper bound for the number of decimal digits of (the components of) $x$. DEPRECATED. Doc: outputs a quick upper bound for the number of decimal digits of (the components of) $x$, off by at most $1$. More precisely, for a positive integer $x$, it computes (approximately) the ceiling of $$\kbd{floor}(1 + \log_2 x) \log_{10}2,$$ This function is DEPRECATED, essentially meaningless, and provided for backwards compatibility only. Don't use it! To count the number of decimal digits of a positive integer $x$, use \kbd{\#digits(x)}. To estimate (recursively) the size of $x$, use \kbd{normlp(x)}.
