Fast Division Trick

Правка en1, от a_gt3_rs, 2024-03-26 13:42:10

When I was doing 1207F - Remainder Problem, I don't know why my program got TLE. Then this ONE trick cut 1 second off my program. You can see this video for more information: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssDBqQ5f5_0. When the compiler compiles x/9, the code roughly converts to ((long long)954437177*x)>>33. Division is a much more expensive operation than multiplies and shifts. But what's the special constant 954437177? It's $$$\lceil \frac{2^{33}}{9} \rceil$$$. So we have this identity which is vaild for every $$$0\leq a< 2^{31}$$$: $$$\lfloor \frac{a}{x} \rfloor $$$
