The exp_2 function calculates the binary exponent of a given signed 64.64-bit fixed-point number, x. This function utilizes a series of conditional multiplications based on the bits set in the binary representation of x. The purpose is to efficiently approximate the value of 2^x without resorting to iterative calculations, ensuring that the result is a signed 64.64-bit fixed-point number.

divuu
Internal function to calculate x / y rounding towards zero, where x and y are unsigned 256-bit integer numbers. Revert on overflow or when y is zero.
This function is designed to provide a robust and efficient method for dividing two uint256 numbers in a way that accounts for various scenarios, including large numbers and potential overflow issues. The approach combines bit manipulation, conditional statements, and explicit checks to balance performance and accuracy.
