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.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e--Josh Bloch (Praise for the first edition)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eHacker's Delight, Second Edition\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003c\/strong\u003e Hank 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtensive additions in this edition include \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eA new chapter on cyclic redundancy checking (CRC), including routines for the commonly used CRC-32 code\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA new chapter on error correcting codes (ECC), including routines for the Hamming code\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMore coverage of integer division by constants, including methods using only shifts and adds\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eComputing remainders without computing a quotient\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMore coverage of population count and counting leading zeros\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eArray population count\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNew algorithms for compress and expand\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn LRU algorithm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFloating-point to\/from integer conversions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eApproximate floating-point reciprocal square root routine\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA gallery of graphs of discrete functions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNow with exercises and answers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Henry Warren\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0321842685\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780321842688\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Addison-Wesley Professional\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/25\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.70w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2013","brand":"Henry Warren","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44048969171199,"sku":"9780321842688","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_998600f8-384e-4aa3-b0cb-2c8e1a668c04.jpg?v=1684998856","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hackers-delight-henry-s-warren-9780321842688","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
