📖 Rule Details

This rule aims to enforce the use of Math.log2() instead of other calculation methods for computing base-2 logarithms.

Math.log2() provides several advantages over manual calculations:

• Clarity of intent: Immediately obvious that you're calculating a base-2 logarithm
• Performance: Optimized native implementation, potentially faster than manual calculations
• Precision: More accurate for edge cases and special values
• Computer science relevance: Base-2 is fundamental in computing and algorithms
• Consistency: Part of the ES2015 Math API family
