Arm/bits2

A signed (two's complement) number of n bits can represent values between -2^n-1 and +(2^n-1-1), inclusive. Write a function that returns how many bits are needed to represent a given number, in signed binary representation.

unsigned int bits(int num);

Expected solution length: Around 5 lines.

Sample Input

0x1000

Sample Output

r0=14

// A test case to test your function with
.global _start
_start:
    ldr r0, =0x1000
    bl bits
    b _start        // End of testing code

// Return minimum number of bits to represent first parameter
bits:
