Official Javadoc says that Math.floor()
returns a double
that is "equal to a mathematical integer", but then why shouldn't it return an int
?

The docs for java.io.Serializable
are probably about as good an explanation as you'll get:
The serialization runtime associates with each serializable class a version number, called a
serialVersionUID
, which is used during deserialization to verify that the sender and receiver of a serialized object have loaded classes for that object that are compatible with respect to serialization. If the receiver has loaded a class for the object that has a differentserialVersionUID
than that of the corresponding sender's class, then deserialization will result in anInvalidClassException
. A serializable class can declare its ownserialVersionUID
explicitly by declaring a field namedserialVersionUID
that must be static, final, and of typelong
:
ANY-ACCESS-MODIFIER static final long serialVersionUID = 42L;
If a serializable class does not explicitly declare a
serialVersionUID
, then the serialization runtime will calculate a defaultserialVersionUID
value for that class based on various aspects of the class, as described in the Java(TM) Object Serialization Specification. However, it is strongly recommended that all serializable classes explicitly declareserialVersionUID
values, since the defaultserialVersionUID
computation is highly sensitive to class details that may vary depending on compiler implementations, and can thus result in unexpectedInvalidClassExceptions
during deserialization. Therefore, to guarantee a consistentserialVersionUID
value across different java compiler implementations, a serializable class must declare an explicitserialVersionUID
value. It is also strongly advised that explicitserialVersionUID
declarations use the private modifier where possible, since such declarations apply only to the immediately declaring class —serialVersionUID
fields are not useful as inherited members.
I figured out a method that works ~35% faster than your 6bits+Carmack+sqrt code, at least with my CPU (x86) and programming language (C/C++). Your results may vary, especially because I don't know how the Java factor will play out.
My approach is threefold:
- First, filter out obvious answers. This includes negative numbers and looking at the last 4 bits. (I found looking at the last six didn't help.) I also answer yes for 0. (In reading the code below, note that my input is
int64 x
.)if( x < 0 || (x&2) || ((x & 7) == 5) || ((x & 11) == 8) ) return false; if( x == 0 ) return true;
- Next, check if it's a square modulo 255 = 3 * 5 * 17. Because that's a product of three distinct primes, only about 1/8 of the residues mod 255 are squares. However, in my experience, calling the modulo operator (%) costs more than the benefit one gets, so I use bit tricks involving 255 = 2^8-1 to compute the residue. (For better or worse, I am not using the trick of reading individual bytes out of a word, only bitwise-and and shifts.)
To actually check if the residue is a square, I look up the answer in a precomputed table.int64 y = x; y = (y & 4294967295LL) + (y >> 32); y = (y & 65535) + (y >> 16); y = (y & 255) + ((y >> 8) & 255) + (y >> 16); // At this point, y is between 0 and 511. More code can reduce it farther.
if( bad255[y] ) return false; // However, I just use a table of size 512
- Finally, try to compute the square root using a method similar to Hensel's lemma. (I don't think it's applicable directly, but it works with some modifications.) Before doing that, I divide out all powers of 2 with a binary search:
At this point, for our number to be a square, it must be 1 mod 8.if((x & 4294967295LL) == 0) x >>= 32; if((x & 65535) == 0) x >>= 16; if((x & 255) == 0) x >>= 8; if((x & 15) == 0) x >>= 4; if((x & 3) == 0) x >>= 2;
The basic structure of Hensel's lemma is the following. (Note: untested code; if it doesn't work, try t=2 or 8.)if((x & 7) != 1) return false;
The idea is that at each iteration, you add one bit onto r, the "current" square root of x; each square root is accurate modulo a larger and larger power of 2, namely t/2. At the end, r and t/2-r will be square roots of x modulo t/2. (Note that if r is a square root of x, then so is -r. This is true even modulo numbers, but beware, modulo some numbers, things can have even more than 2 square roots; notably, this includes powers of 2.) Because our actual square root is less than 2^32, at that point we can actually just check if r or t/2-r are real square roots. In my actual code, I use the following modified loop:int64 t = 4, r = 1; t <<= 1; r += ((x - r * r) & t) >> 1; t <<= 1; r += ((x - r * r) & t) >> 1; t <<= 1; r += ((x - r * r) & t) >> 1; // Repeat until t is 2^33 or so. Use a loop if you want.
The speedup here is obtained in three ways: precomputed start value (equivalent to ~10 iterations of the loop), earlier exit of the loop, and skipping some t values. For the last part, I look atint64 r, t, z; r = start[(x >> 3) & 1023]; do { z = x - r * r; if( z == 0 ) return true; if( z < 0 ) return false; t = z & (-z); r += (z & t) >> 1; if( r > (t >> 1) ) r = t - r; } while( t <= (1LL << 33) );
z = r - x * x
, and set t to be the largest power of 2 dividing z with a bit trick. This allows me to skip t values that wouldn't have affected the value of r anyway. The precomputed start value in my case picks out the "smallest positive" square root modulo 8192.
Even if this code doesn't work faster for you, I hope you enjoy some of the ideas it contains. Complete, tested code follows, including the precomputed tables.
