        long quotient = 0;
        while(ldividend >= ldivisor){
            long thisQuotient = 1;
            long d = ldivisor;
            while(d <= ldividend){
                d = d << 1;
                thisQuotient = thisQuotient << 1;
            }
            d = d >> 1;
            thisQuotient = thisQuotient >> 1;
            ldividend -= d;
            quotient += thisQuotient;
        }
        quotient *= flag;
        if(quotient == (long)0x80000000){
            return 0x7fffffff;
        }
        else{
            return quotient;
        }
    }
};

 

tag中的binarysearch应该值在移位dividend时,通过比较reminder和divisor的大小决定给quotient赋值1还是0.

实际上,通过二分查找整个32位int的空间,仅需32次二分查找操作。

需要注意的是:按位与(&)的优先级小于逻辑等于(==),所以要在&加上括号以保证正确的运算顺序。
