Given a integer x, write a function that multiplies x with 3.5 and returns the integer result. You are not allowed to use %, /, *.
Examples:
Input: 2
Output: 7
Input: 5
Output: 17 (Ignore the digits after decimal point)
Solution:
1. We can get x*3.5 by adding 2*x, x and x/2. To calculate 2*x, left shift x by 1 and to calculate x/2, right shift x by 2.
#include <stdio.h>
int multiplyWith3Point5(int x)
{
return (x<<1) + x + (x>>1);
}
/* Driver program to test above functions*/
int main()
{
int x = 4;
printf("%d", multiplyWith3Point5(x));
getchar();
return 0;
}
