public int bitLength()
Description
Returns the number of bits in the minimal two's-complement
representation of this number, *excluding* a sign bit, i.e.,
(ceil(log2(this < 0 ? -this : this + 1))). (For positive
numbers, this is equivalent to the number of bits in the
ordinary binary representation.)
