name: Int

description: A generic signed integer codec. For Substrate all numbers are LE encoded, this handles the encoding and decoding of those numbers. Upon construction the bitLength is provided and any additional use keeps the number to this length. This extends BN, so all methods available on a normal BN object is available here.
