I just need help on the Algorithm portion of this assignment. Thankyou.

Some examples:

Problem 2: Design the circuit to check if the input number is a simple power of 2, that is n=2x and output x, otherwise, output 255 . Also output 255 if the number is zero (this is also the case of n being not a power of 2 , but usually students ask about this case). Examples: 1. n=00010000; output x=00000100(x=4;n=24); 2. n=01010000; output x=11111111(255) External control signals: Start and Restart. Algorithm 1: count =0 input n while n>0 : { count = count +1 n=n&(n1) output count Algorithm 2: (checking the least significant bit for 1 and adding it to count, easy condition logic, as it is a wire) count =0 Input n while n=0 \{ if LSB (n) =1 \{ count = count +1 n=n>> \}
