The ctz instructions, short for count trailing zeros, are used to count the amount of zeros at the start of the numbers binary representation.
Syntax
;; load a number onto the stack
i32.const 8388608 ;; 00000000_10000000_00000000_00000000
;; count trailing zeros
i32.ctz
;; the top item on the stack will now be 23
