好吧，我想我们都同意这不是一个现实世界的问题。为了好玩，这里是如何用Ada和多线程来做这件事:

with Ada.Text_IO;

procedure Divide_By_3 is

   protected type Divisor_Type is
      entry Poke;
      entry Finish;
   private
      entry Release;
      entry Stop_Emptying;
      Emptying : Boolean := False;
   end Divisor_Type;

   protected type Collector_Type is
      entry Poke;
      entry Finish;
   private
      Emptying : Boolean := False;
   end Collector_Type;

   task type Input is
   end Input;
   task type Output is
   end Output;

   protected body Divisor_Type is
      entry Poke when not Emptying and Stop_Emptying'Count = 0 is
      begin
         requeue Release;
      end Poke;
      entry Release when Release'Count >= 3 or Emptying is
         New_Output : access Output;
      begin
         if not Emptying then
            New_Output := new Output;
            Emptying := True;
            requeue Stop_Emptying;
         end if;
      end Release;
      entry Stop_Emptying when Release'Count = 0 is
      begin
         Emptying := False;
      end Stop_Emptying;
      entry Finish when Poke'Count = 0 and Release'Count < 3 is
      begin
         Emptying := True;
         requeue Stop_Emptying;
      end Finish;
   end Divisor_Type;

   protected body Collector_Type is
      entry Poke when Emptying is
      begin
         null;
      end Poke;
      entry Finish when True is
      begin
         Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line (Poke'Count'Img);
         Emptying := True;
      end Finish;
   end Collector_Type;

   Collector : Collector_Type;
   Divisor : Divisor_Type;

   task body Input is
   begin
      Divisor.Poke;
   end Input;

   task body Output is
   begin
      Collector.Poke;
   end Output;

   Cur_Input : access Input;

   -- Input value:
   Number : Integer := 18;
begin
   for I in 1 .. Number loop
      Cur_Input := new Input;
   end loop;
   Divisor.Finish;
   Collector.Finish;
end Divide_By_3;

这是Python中的，基本上，字符串比较和一个状态机。

def divide_by_3(input):
  to_do = {}
  enque_index = 0
  zero_to_9 = (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
  leave_over = 0
  for left_over in (0, 1, 2):
    for digit in zero_to_9:
      # left_over, digit => enque, leave_over
      to_do[(left_over, digit)] = (zero_to_9[enque_index], leave_over)
      if leave_over == 0:
        leave_over = 1
      elif leave_over == 1:
        leave_over = 2
      elif leave_over == 2 and enque_index != 9:
        leave_over = 0
        enque_index = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)[enque_index]
  answer_q = []
  left_over = 0
  digits = list(str(input))
  if digits[0] == "-":
    answer_q.append("-")
  digits = digits[1:]
  for digit in digits:
    enque, left_over = to_do[(left_over, int(digit))]
    if enque or len(answer_q):
      answer_q.append(enque)
  answer = 0
  if len(answer_q):
    answer = int("".join([str(a) for a in answer_q]))
  return answer

使用黑客的喜悦魔术数字计算器

int divideByThree(int num)
{
  return (fma(num, 1431655766, 0) >> 32);
}

其中fma是在math.h头文件中定义的标准库函数。

你可以使用(依赖于平台)内联程序集，例如，对于x86:(也适用于负数)

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
  int dividend = -42, divisor = 5, quotient, remainder;

  __asm__ ( "cdq; idivl %%ebx;"
          : "=a" (quotient), "=d" (remainder)
          : "a"  (dividend), "b"  (divisor)
          : );

  printf("%i / %i = %i, remainder: %i\n", dividend, divisor, quotient, remainder);
  return 0;
}

要将一个数除以3，而不使用乘法、除法、余数、减法或加法操作，在汇编编程语言中，惟一可用的指令是LEA(地址有效负载)、SHL(向左移动)和SHR(向右移动)。

在这个解决方案中，我没有使用与运算符+ - * /%相关的操作

我假设有输出数字在定点格式(16位整数部分和16位小数部分)和输入数字的类型是短int;但是，我已经近似输出的数量，因为我只能信任整数部分，因此我返回一个短int类型的值。

65536/6是固定点值，相当于1/3浮点数，等于21845。

21845 = 16384 + 4096 + 1024 + 256 + 64 + 16 + 4 + 1.

因此，要用1/3(21845)来做乘法，我使用指令LEA和SHL。

short int DivideBy3( short int num )
//In : eax= 16 Bit short int input number (N)
//Out: eax= N/3 (32 Bit fixed point output number
//          (Bit31-Bit16: integer part, Bit15-Bit0: digits after comma)
{
   __asm
   {
      movsx eax, num          // Get first argument

      // 65536 / 3 = 21845 = 16384 + 4096 + 1024 + 256 + 64 + 16 + 4 + 1

      lea edx,[4*eax+eax]     // EDX= EAX * 5
      shl eax,4
      lea edx,[eax+edx]       // EDX= EDX + EAX * 16
      shl eax,2
      lea edx,[eax+edx]       // EDX= EDX + EAX * 64
      shl eax,2
      lea edx,[eax+edx]       // EDX= EDX + EAX * 256
      shl eax,2
      lea edx,[eax+edx]       // EDX= EDX + EAX * 1024
      shl eax,2
      lea edx,[eax+edx]       // EDX= EDX + EAX * 4096
      shl eax,2
      lea edx,[eax+edx+08000h] // EDX= EDX + EAX * 16384

      shr edx,010h
      movsx eax,dx

   }
   // Return with result in EAX
}

它也适用于负数;结果具有正数的最小近似值(逗号后的最后一位数字为-1)。

如果您不打算使用运算符+ - * /%来执行除3的操作，但可以使用与它们相关的操作，我建议另一种解决方案。

int DivideBy3Bis( short int num )
//In : eax= 16 Bit short int input number (N)
//Out: eax= N/3 (32 Bit fixed point output number
//          (Bit31-Bit16: integer part, Bit15-Bit0: digits after comma)
{
   __asm
   {
      movsx   eax, num        // Get first argument

      mov     edx,21845
      imul    edx
   }
   // Return with result in EAX
}

使用itoa转换为以3为基数的字符串。去掉最后一个小调，转换回10进制。

// Note: itoa is non-standard but actual implementations
// don't seem to handle negative when base != 10.
int div3(int i) {
    char str[42];
    sprintf(str, "%d", INT_MIN); // Put minus sign at str[0]
    if (i>0)                     // Remove sign if positive
        str[0] = ' ';
    itoa(abs(i), &str[1], 3);    // Put ternary absolute value starting at str[1]
    str[strlen(&str[1])] = '\0'; // Drop last digit
    return strtol(str, NULL, 3); // Read back result
}
