Math.clz32(1) Equals 31

πŸ“– Usage Example
// Count leading zero bits in a 32-bit integer
Math.clz32(1)   // β†’ 31
Math.clz32(4)   // β†’ 29

Use Math.clz32() to count leading zero bits of a 32-bit integer, useful in low-level bitwise optimizations.

Math.clz32(x)

Returns the number of leading zero bits in the 32-bit binary representation of a number. Math.clz32(1) returns 31 because 1 in 32-bit binary is 00000000000000000000000000000001.

Challenge: Use Math.clz32() and verify the result for input 1.

πŸ’‘ Hints (2)
  • β€’ 1 in binary is a single 1 bit with 31 leading zeros in 32-bit representation
  • β€’ clz32 stands for "count leading zeros (32-bit)"
