Not the FPU but in the ordinary CPU, there is usually an instruction to find the integer quotient and integer remainder for integer arguments, sometimes (usually?) by a single instruction.
I don't know of any FPUs that finds <[EMAIL PROTECTED] for float arguments. There would be an instruction to round a float to another float which is a mathematical integer, but not composed with other operations. (The result is not a hardware integer. My guess is that it's due to the closure problem.) ----- Original Message ----- From: bill lam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Saturday, October 21, 2006 11:04 pm Subject: Re: [Jprogramming] Interger division, the faster one > Just curious, does any hardware fpu support <:@% , that is short > circuiting the > computing of the fractional part of a quotient? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
