Repeatedly compares number to another unsigned int called x. x is initialized to 1. The value of x is shifted left i times until x is greater than number. Now i is equal to the number of bits the UNSIGNED value of number needs. The signed value will need one more bit for the sign so i+1 is returned if the number is signed, and i is returned if the number is unsigned.</div> <a name="exampleBookmark"></a> <a name="seealsobookmark"></a> <div class="SectionHeading" id="seealsoSectionHeading"><span class="SectionHeadingIcon"><!-- --></span><span class="SectionHeadingText">See Also</span></div><div id="seealsoSectionContent" class="SectionContent"><h4 class="subHeading">Reference</h4><p><a href="C1.C1Flash.2~C1.C1Flash.Base.FSWFStream.html">FSWFStream Class</a> <br><a href="C1.C1Flash.2~C1.C1Flash.Base.FSWFStream_members.html">FSWFStream Members</a> </p> </div> </div> <div id="FooterContent"> <p> </p><p> </p><hr style="height: 1px"><p>Copyright (c) <script type="text/javascript"> var theDate=new Date() document.write(theDate.getFullYear()) </script> GrapeCity, inc.
