"This is the first book that promises to tell the deep, dark secrets of computer arithmetic, and it delivers in spades. It contains every trick I knew plus many, many more. A godsend for library developers, compiler writers, and lovers of elegant hacks, it deserves a spot on your shelf right next to Knuth. In the ten years since the first edition came out, it's been absolutely invaluable to my work at Sun and Google. I'm thrilled with all of the new material in the second edition." -- Joshua Bloch "When I first saw the title, I figured that the book must be either a cookbook for breaking into computers (unlikely) or some sort of compendium of little programming tricks. It's the latter, but it's thorough, almost encyclopedic, in its coverage. The second edition covers two new major topics and expands the overall collection with dozens of additional little tricks, including one that I put to use right away in a binary search algorithm: computing the average of two integers without risking overflow. This hacker is indeed delighted!" -- Guy Steele,  "This is the first book that promises to tell the deep, dark secrets of computer arithmetic, and it delivers in spades.

Synopsis
In Hacker's Delight, Henry Warren once again compiles an irresistible collection of programming hacks: timesaving techniques, algorithms, and tricks that help programmers build more elegant and efficient software, while also gaining deeper insights into their craft. Warren's hacks are eminently practical, but they're also intrinsically interesting, and sometimes unexpected, much like the solution to a great puzzle. They are, in a word, a delight to any programmer who is excited by the opportunity to improve. Extensive additions in this edition include A new chapter on cyclic redundancy checking (CRC), including routines for the commonly used CRC-32 code A new chapter on error correcting codes (ECC), including routines for the Hamming code More coverage of integer division by constants, including methods using only shifts and adds Computing remainders without computing a quotient More coverage of population count and counting leading zeros Array population count New algorithms for compress and expand An LRU algorithm Floating-point to/from integer conversions Approximate floating-point reciprocal square root routine A gallery of graphs of discrete functions Now with exercises and answers, "This is the first book that promises to tell the deep, dark secrets of computer arithmetic, and it delivers in spades.

    Excellent seller. The quality of the book was underrated, which is good. Seller rated it good. I call it- like new. Price was also well below market but accurately at true value which means this seller has integrity, a rare quality these days. Appearance of book is as good or better than picture shown. Finally, seller packaged book to protect it during shipping. Arrived ahead of schedule. 5-star seller. Added to favorites.
