Can you explain how the 0xstuff was derived or why it's magic?
It's related to the starting point for the iteration.
That's only part of it. In fact, it's not much of a gain at all in the age of 64-bit integers and fast FPUs.
I know very little about how optimizations actually work on modern computers. I'd assume this is mostly unnecessary now anyway.Comment

I am lost in trying to understand this thread's purposeI will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

When I first started programming, in like fourth grade or so, I had similarly indecipherable (but less obscene) variable names. It worked when the programs were simple. But once I started to do more complex things, I finally realized that relevant, intelligible variable names really do make your code better. It's an important lesson to learn.Originally posted by Oncle Boris

Of course, I gave up programming in my senior year of high school and, except during a few flashes of nostalgia, haven't wanted to do it since.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

In my last job I made some VBA code to automatize the creation of reports with Excel. I hope my successors have taken a look at it

At the job I have now, some of the code was developed in India not too long ago (before they ditched that idea). Many of the variables are spelled phonetically in Hindi."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

I was never impressed by complex/unreadable code. Anyone can do that.
I'm impressed by Visual Basic and the like. A couple of clicks and the application is finished

It's not complex nor unreadable. It's damn efficient and clever."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

This code isn't just some complex/unreadable version of something that could be expressed better. It is an extremely elegant optimization of a processor-intensive calculation.
