@Danny Miller, thanks for pointing that out. I added a note to that effect.

bitwise is not the same as dividing or multiplying by two … on Numbers. That will convert the number to int and divide by two. For example, doing those operations on the value 5 will not yield 2.5.

You should probably say “dividing or multiplying integers by multiples of 2 are faster with bitwise”

@mb, Oh yeah! Well my compiler can beat up your compiler. :-)

Seriously, I dunno. Maybe it’s a factor of Actionscript being much newer than C++ that the compiler isn’t as streamlined. But that’s cool that C++ works that way. Hopefully that will trickle into Actionscript soon.

A good C++ compiler will optimize every one of these examples for you. (Well, probably not the Math.Floor one). It’s too bad AS 3 doesn’t do this yet. :(

@no regrets, err???? My Bulgarian is a little rusty but I think you said nice things. In your post that links here to polyGeek.com there’s a link to the movie Lethal Weapon at IMDB. Maybe you were commenting on how I have Mel Gibson-like good looks. If so then thank you very much. :-)

@RightHook, you caught me. My plan all along was to subtly increase the amount of energy burned and therefore accelerate the rate of global warming. This is all part of my global domination plans which revolve around buying up cheap inland property and selling later after the coasts have flooded.

I guess I’ll have to come up with yet another plan to conquer the world. Thanks for that!

My latest scheme is to try and find a way to convert sarcasm into CO2.
