Code:

# From math module import log2 and floor function
from math import log2,floor


# Define a function for finding number of bits
# required to represent any number
def countBits(Num) :

    bits = floor(log2(Num) + 1)

    return bits

if __name__ == "__main__" :

    # assign number
    Num = 10

    # function call
    print(countBits(Num))

    Num = 32

    print(countBits(Num))

Output

4
6
