如何将一个数除3而不使用*、/、+、-、%等运算符?

int div3(int x)
{
  int reminder = abs(x);
  int result = 0;
  while(reminder >= 3)
  {
     result++;

     reminder--;
     reminder--;
     reminder--;
  }
  return result;
}

这是一个执行所需操作的简单函数。但是它需要+操作符,所以你所要做的就是用位操作符来加值:

// replaces the + operator
int add(int x, int y)
{
    while (x) {
        int t = (x & y) << 1;
        y ^= x;
        x = t;
    }
    return y;
}

int divideby3(int num)
{
    int sum = 0;
    while (num > 3) {
        sum = add(num >> 2, sum);
        num = add(num >> 2, num & 3);
    }
    if (num == 3)
        sum = add(sum, 1);
    return sum; 
}

正如吉姆评论的那样,这是可行的,因为:

N = 4 * a + b N / 3 = a + (a + b) / 3 sum += an = a + b,然后迭代 当a == 0 (n < 4)时,sum += floor(n / 3);即1,如果n == 3,否则为0

这是经典的2进制除法算法

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>

int main()
{
  uint32_t mod3[6] = { 0,1,2,0,1,2 };
  uint32_t x = 1234567; // number to divide, and remainder at the end
  uint32_t y = 0; // result
  int bit = 31; // current bit
  printf("X=%u   X/3=%u\n",x,x/3); // the '/3' is for testing

  while (bit>0)
  {
    printf("BIT=%d  X=%u  Y=%u\n",bit,x,y);
    // decrement bit
    int h = 1; while (1) { bit ^= h; if ( bit&h ) h <<= 1; else break; }
    uint32_t r = x>>bit;  // current remainder in 0..5
    x ^= r<<bit;          // remove R bits from X
    if (r >= 3) y |= 1<<bit; // new output bit
    x |= mod3[r]<<bit;    // new remainder inserted in X
  }
  printf("Y=%u\n",y);
}

这应该适用于任何除数,而不仅仅是3。目前仅适用于unsigned,但将其扩展到signed应该没有那么困难。

#include <stdio.h>

unsigned sub(unsigned two, unsigned one);
unsigned bitdiv(unsigned top, unsigned bot);
unsigned sub(unsigned two, unsigned one)
{
unsigned bor;
bor = one;
do      {
        one = ~two & bor;
        two ^= bor;
        bor = one<<1;
        } while (one);
return two;
}

unsigned bitdiv(unsigned top, unsigned bot)
{
unsigned result, shift;

if (!bot || top < bot) return 0;

for(shift=1;top >= (bot<<=1); shift++) {;}
bot >>= 1;

for (result=0; shift--; bot >>= 1 ) {
        result <<=1;
        if (top >= bot) {
                top = sub(top,bot);
                result |= 1;
                }
        }
return result;
}

int main(void)
{
unsigned arg,val;

for (arg=2; arg < 40; arg++) {
        val = bitdiv(arg,3);
        printf("Arg=%u Val=%u\n", arg, val);
        }
return 0;
}

很有趣的是,没有人回答一个泛泛的划分:

/* For the given integer find the position of MSB */
int find_msb_loc(unsigned int n)
{
    if (n == 0)
        return 0;

    int loc = sizeof(n)  * 8 - 1;
    while (!(n & (1 << loc)))
        loc--;
    return loc;
}


/* Assume both a and b to be positive, return a/b */
int divide_bitwise(const unsigned int a, const unsigned int b)
{
    int int_size = sizeof(unsigned int) * 8;
    int b_msb_loc = find_msb_loc(b);

    int d = 0; // dividend
    int r = 0; // reminder
    int t_a = a;
    int t_a_msb_loc = find_msb_loc(t_a);
    int t_b = b << (t_a_msb_loc - b_msb_loc);

    int i;
    for(i = t_a_msb_loc; i >= b_msb_loc; i--)  {
        if (t_a > t_b) {
            d = (d << 1) | 0x1;
            t_a -= t_b; // Not a bitwise operatiion
            t_b = t_b >> 1;
         }
        else if (t_a == t_b) {
            d = (d << 1) | 0x1;
            t_a = 0;
        }
        else { // t_a < t_b
            d = d << 1;
            t_b = t_b >> 1;
        }
    }

    r = t_a;
    printf("==> %d %d\n", d, r);
    return d;
}

按位加法已经在其中一个答案中给出,所以跳过它。
