Divide two integers without using multiplication, division and mod operator.
If it is overflow, return MAX_INT.
ANSWER : C++
class Solution {
public:
int divide(int dividend, int divisor) {
if (!divisor || (dividend == INT_MIN && divisor == -1))
return INT_MAX;
int sign = ((dividend < 0) ^ (divisor < 0)) ? -1 : 1;
long long dvd = labs(dividend);
long long dvs = labs(divisor);
int res = 0;
while (dvd >= dvs) {
long long temp = dvs, multiple = 1;
while (dvd >= (temp << 1)) {
temp <<= 1;
multiple <<= 1;
}
dvd -= temp;
res += multiple;
}
return sign == 1 ? res : -res;
}
};
