The size of the message is 11 KB. The message contains 11,264 characters.

The size of the message is 11 KB. The message contains 11,264 characters. What is the power of the alphabet with which the message is written.

For the convenience of calculations, let’s translate the message volume into bits. Based on the fact that there are 1024 bytes in one kilobyte, and 8 bits in one byte:

11 * 1024 * 8 = 90112 bits

Let’s calculate how much memory one character takes. To do this, we divide the message size by the number of characters in it:

90112/11264 = 8 bits

To find the size of the alphabet, you need to calculate the equation x = 2 ^ n, where n is the amount of memory that one character takes. 2 ^ 8 = 256 characters.
