 Re: Signed Integer Division

I'd like to see your analysis that symmetrical division is faster than floored
division.  I've looked at division a lot, and there's an absence of
programming examples that use the symmetrical algorithm.

I wonder if my posting describing an efficient algorithm for implementing
division was passed along to you or possibly someone else at Harris.
