| 1. | Unused symbols are normally transmitted as having zero bit length.
|
| 2. | Long sequences of zero bits result in no transitions and a loss of synchronization.
|
| 3. | Two zero bits are prepended to the message as padding and must be skipped during decoding.
|
| 4. | In case of a leap second, a zero bit is inserted between seconds 16 and 17.
|
| 5. | The count leading zeros operation efficiently determines the number of leading zero bits in a machine word.
|
| 6. | The sender is required to find a message whose hash value begins with a number of zero bits.
|
| 7. | More significantly, it requires the bitString to be padded with " n " zero bits.
|
| 8. | This signals the decoder that the zero bits added due to padding should be excluded from the reconstructed data.
|
| 9. | There will be, however, no guarantee of them satisfying the 20 one and 20 zero bits property.
|
| 10. | Both representations are equivalent and allow for the highest order non-zero bit to be found in constant time.
