Good day sir i would like to share my idea to get number of host class c. in class full network or non-sub netted.

the formula is2 raise to the number of0s in the subnet minus2 so class C have8 zeroes.  in binary the format of class C is ... it just the same as255.255.255.0

 

2 raise to8 minus2 =256 -2 =254 host

2^8 -2 =256 -2 =254 host
