301. Bitwise Trick: Divide by Powers of 2 Without Operators
Objective: Given a number n and k, Calculate n / k2 without using the power function or / operator.
Example:
N = 48, k = 4 N/k2 = 3
Approach: Bit Manipulation
- Right shift the number N by k.
- N = 48
- Bit representation: 0 1 1 0 0 0 0
- Right shift by k = 4
- 0 1 1 which is the representation of 3.
Output:
Number 48 Divided by 2^4 is: 3
