division by 7
Last month I appeared for an interview with EA sports and they asked
me this question.
How would you divide a number by 7 without using division operator ?
I did by doing a subtraction and keeping a counter that kept a tab on
how many times I subtracted.
Later, the EA sport guy told me that of course there are can be better
technique by using bit operator.
Since 7 has a binary representation 111, my guess is that a left shift
operation of 3 bits should give the answer, but I couldn't get it to
work.
Any comments ?
