- MindTwister 14y agoNot only that, its also completely irrelevant for 99% of developers. My bet is that most of the (currently) 167 up votes did not have this specific problem.
- ralfd 14y agoThe Shift vs Division question was also already asked many times on Stackoverflow in the past.
- tych0 14y agoIt's a bad question, though. Either you know the answer, or the peephole optimizer will do a better job than you will, and therefore you should use what's most readable. I agree with GP that these kinds of questions are unfortunate noise at stackoverflow.
- smackfu 14y agoI'm always surprised when I look at the top questions and it's full of stuff like "why does $#^$&%*# work in perl" or "what does c=c++-1 equal."
