BitMath
This library provides functionality for computing bit properties of an unsigned integer
Functions
mostSignificantBit
function mostSignificantBit(
uint256 x
) internal pure returns (uint8 r)
Returns the index of the most significant bit of the number, where the least significant bit is at index 0 and the most significant bit is at index 255
The function satisfies the property: x >= 2mostSignificantBit(x) and x < 2(mostSignificantBit(x)+1)
Parameters:
x
uint256
the value for which to compute the most significant bit, must be greater than 0
Return Values:
r
uint8
the index of the most significant bit
leastSignificantBit
function leastSignificantBit(
uint256 x
) internal pure returns (uint8 r)
Returns the index of the least significant bit of the number, where the least significant bit is at index 0 and the most significant bit is at index 255
The function satisfies the property: (x & 2leastSignificantBit(x)) != 0 and (x & (2(leastSignificantBit(x)) - 1)) == 0)
Parameters:
x
uint256
the value for which to compute the least significant bit, must be greater than 0
Return Values:
r
uint8
the index of the least significant bit
