Ugly Bit-Wise Arithmetic

By David Grant - Posted on 02 March 2007

I just had a WTF moment today. If I ever see code like this again I swear I will go postal:

answer = new long[(size + 0x3F) >>> 6];

one simpler ways to write this would be:

answer = new long[size/64 + 1];

This is java by the way, not C.
