关于平方根的计算,在linux内核中也有实现,就像math.h数学库里的sqrt这个函数一样。
平方根的公式定义:

#include <stdio.h>
#ifdef CONFIG_64BIT
#define BITS_PER_LONG 64
#else
#define BITS_PER_LONG 32
#endif
/**
* int_sqrt - rough approximation to sqrt
* @x: integer of which to calculate the sqrt
*
* A very rough approximation to the sqrt() function.
*/
unsigned long int_sqrt(unsigned long x)
{
unsigned long op, res, one;
op = x;
res = 0;
one = 1UL << (BITS_PER_LONG - 2);
while (one > op)
one >>= 2;
while (one != 0) {
if (op >= res + one) {
op = op - (res + one);
res = res + 2 * one;
}
res /= 2;
one /= 4;
}
return res;
}
int main(void)
{
printf("%d\n",int_sqrt(16)) ;
return 0 ;
}运行结果:原文:http://blog.csdn.net/morixinguan/article/details/50682793
