Yet another solution. This should handle all ints (including negative ints) except the min value of an int, which would need to be handled as a hard coded exception. This basically does division by subtraction but only using bit operators (shifts, xor, & and complement). For faster speed, it subtracts 3 * (decreasing powers of 2). In c#, it executes around 444 of these DivideBy3 calls per millisecond (2.2 seconds for 1,000,000 divides), so not horrendously slow, but no where near as fast as a simple x/3. By comparison, Coodey's nice solution is about 5 times faster than this one.
public static int DivideBy3(int a) {
bool negative = a < 0;
if (negative) a = Negate(a);
int result;
int sub = 3 << 29;
int threes = 1 << 29;
result = 0;
while (threes > 0) {
if (a >= sub) {
a = Add(a, Negate(sub));
result = Add(result, threes);
}
sub >>= 1;
threes >>= 1;
}
if (negative) result = Negate(result);
return result;
}
public static int Negate(int a) {
return Add(~a, 1);
}
public static int Add(int a, int b) {
int x = 0;
x = a ^ b;
while ((a & b) != 0) {
b = (a & b) << 1;
a = x;
x = a ^ b;
}
return x;
}
这是c#,因为这是我手边的东西,但与c的区别应该很小。

使用Linux shell脚本:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int number = 30;
char command[25];
snprintf(command, 25, "echo $((%d %c 3)) ", number, 47);
system( command );
return 0;
}

并不是所有的答案都是面试官想听到的:
我的回答:
“我绝不会那样做,谁会为这种愚蠢的事情付出代价呢?”没有人 会有一个优势,它不是更快,它只是愚蠢。 教授设计师必须知道这一点,但这必须适用于所有数字,而不仅仅是除以3。”
要将一个32位数字除以3,可以将其乘以0x55555556,然后取64位结果的前32位。
现在剩下要做的就是使用位运算和移位来实现乘法…
我认为正确的答案是:
为什么不用基本运算符来做基本运算呢?
#!/bin/ruby
def div_by_3(i)
i.div 3 # always return int http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-1.9.3/Numeric.html#method-i-div
end
