Here is the current significand normalization loop below in the
BigDecimal(double, MathContext) constructor:
// Normalize
while ((significand & 1) == 0) { // i.e., significand is even
significand >>= 1;
exponent++;
}Here is a better way to normalize the significand in the BigDecimal(double, MathContext) constructor: int significandTz = Long.numberOfTrailingZeros(significand); significand >>= significandTz; exponent += significandTz;
