.I Mpsignif
- returns the bit offset of the left most 1 bit in
+ returns the number of significant bits in
.IR b .
.I Mplowbits0
- returns the bit offset of the right most 1 bit.
+ returns the number of consecutive zero bits
+ at the low end of the significant bits.
For example, for 0x14,
.I mpsignif
- would return 4 and
+ returns 4 and
.I mplowbits0
- would return 2.
+ returns 2.
+ For 0,
+ .I mpsignif
+ and
+ .I mplowbits0
+ both return 0.
.PP
The remaining routines all work on arrays of
.B mpdigit
