number of bits in the minimal two's-complement representation of this BigInteger, <em>excluding</em> a sign bit.
- Attributes
Remarks
Returns the number of bits in the minimal two's-complement representation of this BigInteger, <em>excluding</em> a sign bit. For positive BigIntegers, this is equivalent to the number of bits in the ordinary binary representation. For zero this method returns 0. (Computes (ceil(log2(this < 0 ? -this : this+1))).)
