look at the lsb you trog

>>51567361
They're floating points, if it was a regular integer that'd be easy but I'm too tired/retarded to figure out how to set this up using the lsb

>>51567361
could i shift the result 31 times to the left and then see if its zero or not?

>>51567361
He's talking floating point numbers.

I think the idea of dividing by two and subtracting that quotient from the original number twice is a reasonable solution. Just be sure that when you do a compare that you don't compare to zero.

That is, using pseudo code:

double dbl1;
double dbl2;
...

dbl2 = dbl1 / 2.0;

// Fudge factor is some very small number since dbl1 - dbl2 - dbl2 might not be exactly zero in FP arithmetic.
if ((dbl1 - dbl2 - dbl2) < dblFudgeFactor)
{
// Divisible by two
}

else
{
// Not divisible by two
}

whats the reason for you subtracting dbl2 twice from dbl1?

>>51567505
dbl2 is half of dbl1. E.g.

dbl1 = 8.0;
dbl2 = 8.0 / 2.0; // dbl2 = 4.0

// dbl1 - dbl2 - dbl2 should be close to zero in FP representation.

Whoops. I like the divide by 2 method suggested.

>>51567430
I'm rusty on my floating point number representations, but you might need to take the absolute value of the result before comparing with dblFudgeFactor

>>51567690
You're correct. It's been a very long time since I've had to do anything with floating point numbers especially in assembly.

Thanks for your help guys. I'm trying my best to get this bullshit to work. Assembly is my first programming language ever and I want to die.
