M-1}, where M is 2^{num_bits_} and // num_bits is the minimum number of bits required to represent N. If a reversed // numbers is >= N it is rejected and the next natural number is considered // until a valid output number is found. // // (C) Copyright 2009, Google Inc. // Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); you may not // use this file except in compliance with the License.
