A computer has a $$256$$ $$K$$ Byte, $$4$$-way set associative, write back data cache with block size of $$32$$ Bytes. The processor sends $$32$$ bit addresses to the cache controller. Each cache tag director $$y$$ entry contains, in addition to address tag, $$2$$ valid bits. $$1$$ modified bit and $$1$$ replacement bit.

The number of bit in the tag field of an address is
