Yeah I did a test where I put the data I was using in length() into afile then did du-sh on the file.
Where length() gave me 1048576 the du -sh on the file said 1.0 MB So length() returns bytes and so length() * 8 is the bits and length() / 1024 is the Kilobytes I believe. Thanks for the replies everyone!
