java.lang.Long divideUnsigned(long dividend, long divisor)
Description
Note that in two’s complement arithmetic, the three other basic arithmetic operations of add, subtract, and multiply are bit-wise identical if the two operands are regarded as both being signed or both being unsigned. Therefore separate addUnsigned, etc. methods are not provided.
Make a note that the divideUnsigned() method of Long class is static thus it should be accessed statically which means the we would be calling this method in this format:
Long.divideUnsigned(method args)
Non static method is usually called by just declaring method_name(argument) however in this case since the method is static, it should be called by appending the class name as suffix. We will be encountering a compilation problem if we call the java divideUnsigned method non statically.
Method Syntax
public static long divideUnsigned(long dividend, long divisor)
Method Argument
| Data Type | Parameter | Description |
|---|---|---|
| long | dividend | the value to be divided |
| long | divisor | the value doing the dividing |
Method Returns
The divideUnsigned(long dividend, long divisor) method of Long class returns the unsigned quotient of the first argument divided by the second argument
Compatibility
Requires Java 1.8 and up
Java Long divideUnsigned() Example
Below is a simple java example on the usage of divideUnsigned() method of Long class.
package com.javatutorialhq.java.examples;
import java.util.Scanner;
/*
* This example source code demonstrates the use of
* divideUnsigned(long dividend, long divisor) method of Long class
*/
public class LongDivideUnsignedExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Ask for user input
System.out.print("Enter the dividend:");
// declare a scanner object to read the user input
Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
// assign the input to a variable
Long dividend = s.nextLong();
// Ask for another value
System.out.print("Enter the divisor:");
Long divisor = s.nextLong();
// get the quotient (unsigned)
long result = Long.divideUnsigned(dividend, divisor);
// print the result
System.out.println("Quotient:"+result);
// close the scanner object
s.close();
}
}
