Re edit: Put a space between the * and the characters.
5 * N
versus
5*N
Pairs of asterisks adjacent to non-space characters become markers indicating italicized text.
5*N is easier to remember than 16*N
5N is easier to remember than 16N
Versus
5 * N is easier to remember than 16 * N
5 * N is easier to remember than 16 * N
And I think the word you want is exponential, not logarithmic. Related to each other, since exponential expressions become linear on a logarithmic scale, but exponential describes the growth of 2^n better.
