I need to use the .length for int but it doesn't let me, is there something else I can use for an integer

I'm trying to write a method that returns the length of an integer, in the java course it shows how we can use misses.length() to return the length of a String, so I was wondering if there was something else for Integers

In Java number types have a fixed length or width as it's called to accommodate any number within a given range in binary notation. For int's and Integers it's 32 bits (binary digits).
