So I guess you could bit shift it by 1 to get half the result n >> 1

float half = number & 0x1? number>>1+.5f : number>>1

Well this was a long time ago, but for those who still interested : Just a one bit right shifting the integer would give you the half of it Assuming we have a number : int n = 150; Half will be equal to : float half = (n >> 1) + 0.5f; Happy coding! Less
Tell me about your projects? If a frog is in a 50 ft well and he jumps 3 ft and falls 2ft per day, how many days will he take to get out of the well?
3 Answers↳
Actually, if he jumps 3 ft and drops 2 ft every day then "per day jump => 3 - 2 = 1 feet per day". Thus it would take him 47 days to reach the top of the well. Pretty standard aptitude test. Less

Actually 50 days as depth is 50 ft and progession is of 1 ft per day

I asked to schedule a telephonic or Face 2 Face Interview but it was not conducted because company thought my current salary is also very high(even there are companies who are willing to offer a hike more than 50%). I independently developed and uploaded 3 titles while I was in my college 3rd Year. B.tech CSE My game developed in 7 days collected a revenue of 5K $ only in Android App Store.. (Before I completed my graduation) ? And they expect you to work in 0% hike. They even consider your current salary higher.

My Profile speaks the love and addiction for Games. And no person will be able to survive in Mumbai working for a company without money. If he is developing games and competing in the App market without money, he would rather develop them for himself and compete as an Indie Developer. :) Being hired and delivering your best to a Company is the reason for which he is paid and money is the obvious reason for which he is doing the Job. :) Less

We have been in this business for 16 years and understand market salaries, hikes and incentives.
