SByteAlgorithmsExtensions.CountLeadingZeros(this sbyte) Method

Computes the number of sequentially zeroed bits occupying the most significant bit positions.

public static int CountLeadingZeros(this sbyte number);

Parameters

number System.SByte

The number to evaluate.

Returns

System.Int32 The count of sequentially zeroed bits occupying the most significant bit positions.

Example

sbyte v = 0x7F;
Console.WriteLine($"{v.CountLeadingZeros()}"); // outputs: 1

v = 0x3F;
Console.WriteLine($"{v.CountLeadingZeros()}"); // outputs: 2

v = 1;
Console.WriteLine($"{v.CountLeadingZeros()}"); // outputs: 7
