Common mistakes to avoid
- •Converting in the wrong direction — multiplying when you should divide (or vice versa). Sanity-check whether bits should come out larger or smaller than KB.
- •Rounding too early. Keep full precision during the calculation and round only the final bits value.
- •Mixing bits and bytes — 1 byte = 8 bits, and storage is usually quoted in bytes while bandwidth is often in bits.
