    Re: implementation of division operator

    I think we can do division operation by using bitwise right shift operator.
    Ex:
    x=10
    x/2 it will give 5
    x>>2 also gives 5.

    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
