Detailed Description of Changes:
The code has been formatted to follow a consistent style, with appropriate indentation and line breaks to enhance readability. Comments have been provided for each function, explaining its purpose and properties. The mostSignificantBit and leastSignificantBit functions are now more readable and easier to understand due to improved code organization. Error Messages in require Statements:
The require statements in both functions now include specific error messages to provide more informative feedback when the input value (x) is not greater than 0. The error messages make it clear that the value must be greater than 0 for the functions to produce valid results. Executive Summary of Changes:
The optimized version of the BitMath library focuses on improving code readability and providing more informative error messages while preserving the efficient bit manipulation capabilities. The key changes include code formatting and organization, adding descriptive comments, and enhancing the error messages in require statements.
Advantages of the Changes:
Readability and Maintainability: The optimized version's consistent code formatting and descriptive comments improve code readability, making it easier for developers to understand and maintain the library in the future.
Clarity in Error Messages: The addition of specific error messages in the require statements provides clear feedback to users when they input a value that does not meet the required condition (greater than 0). This improves user experience and helps in debugging potential issues.
Code Consistency: The improvements in code formatting and organization lead to a more consistent codebase, reducing the chances of errors due to inconsistencies in the implementation.
Efficient Bit Manipulation: Despite the changes made, the core logic for finding the most significant bit and least significant bit remains unchanged, ensuring efficient bit manipulation capabilities are retained.
