## Static Public Member Functions
static int64 | signExpBits (int64 num)
| Computes the bit pattern for the sign and exponent of a double-precision number.
static int | numCommonMostSigMantissaBits (int64 num1, int64 num2)
| This computes the number of common most-significant bits in the mantissas of two double-precision numbers.
static int64 | zeroLowerBits (int64 bits, int nBits)
| Zeroes the lower n bits of a bitstring.
static int | getBit (int64 bits, int i)
| Extracts the i'th bit of a bitstring.

## Detailed Description

Determines the maximum number of common most-significant bits in the mantissa of one or numbers.

Can be used to compute the double-precision number which is represented by the common bits. If there are no common bits, the number computed is 0.0.

## Member Function Documentation

static int geos::precision::CommonBits::getBit | ( | int64 | bits,
|  | int | i
| ) |  |
| static

Extracts the i'th bit of a bitstring.

Parameters

  bits | the bitstring to extract from
  i | the bit to extract

Returns
  the value of the extracted bit

static int geos::precision::CommonBits::numCommonMostSigMantissaBits | ( | int64 | num1,
|  | int64 | num2
| ) |  |
| static

This computes the number of common most-significant bits in the mantissas of two double-precision numbers.

It does not count the hidden bit, which is always 1. It does not determine whether the numbers have the same exponent - if they do not, the value computed by this function is meaningless.

Parameters

  db |

Returns
  the number of common most-significant mantissa bits

static int64 geos::precision::CommonBits::signExpBits | ( | int64 | num | ) |
| static

Computes the bit pattern for the sign and exponent of a double-precision number.

Parameters

  num |

Returns
  the bit pattern for the sign and exponent

static int64 geos::precision::CommonBits::zeroLowerBits | ( | int64 | bits,
|  | int | nBits
| ) |  |
| static

Zeroes the lower n bits of a bitstring.

Parameters

  bits | the bitstring to alter
  i | the number of bits to zero

Returns
  the zeroed bitstring
