bitwise operators

UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users
1

can anybody write a program to divide a number by another number using bitwise operators

2

Probably. What about it?

3

but i am not getting the logic to divide a number by another number using bitwise operators?? can anybody explain the logic

Can anybody explain the logic of dividing a number by another number using bitwise operators...

areef4u, please dont bump up posts. I have merged your threads.

Following will show you bitwise And & , OR | and XOR ^ operations, And & will copy a bit to the result if it exists in both operands:

main()
  {
                                      /* Binary Values */
    unsigned int a = 60;	/* 60 = 0011 1100 */  
    unsigned int b = 13;	/* 13 = 0000 1101 */
    unsigned int c = 0;           

    c = a & b;                  /* 12 = 0000 1100 */ 
  }

OR | will copy a bit if it exists in eather operand:

main()
  {
                                      /* Binary Values */
    unsigned int a = 60;	/* 60 = 0011 1100 */  
    unsigned int b = 13;	/* 13 = 0000 1101 */
    unsigned int c = 0;           

    c = a | b;                  /* 61 = 0011 1101 */ 
  }

XOR ^ copies the bit if it is set in one operand (but not both)

main()
  {
                                        /* Binary Values */
    unsigned int a = 60;	/* 60 = 0011 1100 */  
    unsigned int b = 13;	/* 13 = 0000 1101 */
    unsigned int c = 0;           

    c = a ^ b;                  /* 49 = 0011 0001 */ 
  }

i want to know the logic, of this example 15/3 = 5, or 16/3 = 5, using bitwise operators. like dividing two numbers using bitwise operators..
i hope u got it.

This isn't exactly a UNIX thing. Try google's first hit for "binary division".

9

write a program using bitwise operators to divide one number by another.
