Compute modulus division by a power-of-2-number

Compute n modulo d without division(/) and modulo(%) operators, where d is a power of 2 number.

Let ith bit from right is set in d. For getting n modulus d, we just need to return 0 to i-1 (from right) bits of n as they are and other bits as 0.

For example if n = 6 (00..110) and d = 4(00..100). Last set bit in d is at position 3 (from right side). So we need to return last two bits of n as they are and other bits as 0, i.e., 00..010.

Now doing it is so easy, guess it….

Yes, you have guessing it right. See the below program.

C++

#include<stdio.h>

// This function will return n % d.
// d must be one of: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, … 
unsigned int getModulo(unsigned int n, 
                       unsigned int d)
{
return ( n & (d - 1) );
}         

// Driver Code
int main()
{
unsigned int n = 6;

// d must be a power of 2
unsigned int d = 4; 
printf("%u moduo %u is %u", n, d, getModulo(n, d));

getchar();
return 0;
}

Java

// Java code for Compute modulus division by 
// a power-of-2-number
class GFG {
    
    // This function will return n % d.
    // d must be one of: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32,
    static int getModulo(int n, int d)
    {
        return ( n & (d-1) );
    }     
    
    // Driver Code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int n = 6;
        
        /*d must be a power of 2*/
        int d = 4; 
        
        System.out.println(n+" moduo " + d + 
                    " is " + getModulo(n, d));
    }
}
