Multiplying Faster with Squares (Lookup). Because:
(a+b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab
(a-b)2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab
Subtracting these gives:
4ab = (a+b)2 - (a-b)2
Or:
ab = (a+b)2/4 - (a-b)2/4
which reduces the difficult parts from an x*y to an x2/4. With only one variable (and enough ram) lookup tables are suddenly back in frame. Because a-b and a+b are always both even or both odd, you only need one table. So if we keep in memory
a table of x2/4 we can do a multiply with an add, two subtractions
and two table lookups. The tables have a+b number of entries rather than
a*b, but must hold values as large as a*b if the full range of possible output
is to be supported.+

Precompute a table for tan(a), where a is in binary(ish) steps. So for i=0 to 15, each entry is actually atan(2**-i), converted to fixed point, so: atan(2**-i) * (1 << 16)
To compute a sine or a cosine, convert the angle (e.g. 0.9152) to fixed point: 0.9152 * (1 << 16) = 59978
#Initialize variables:
z = a * (1 << 16) #our input angle offset
x = 39796 #the x point on a unit circle at 0 degrees in fixed point
y = 0 #the y
#The sign of z determines if we rotate clockwise or anti-clockwise.
# and as we zero it out, we reach out answers
for (i in range(0,sizeof(table)):
if z >= 0:
x_next = x - (y >> i)
y_next = y + (x >> i)
z -= table[i]
else:
x_next = x + (y >> i)
y_next = y - (x >> i)
z += table[i]
x = x_next
y = y_next

Simple way to factor quadratic equations of the form x2 + Bx +
C = 0.
- Convert from Ax2 + Bx + C = 0 by dividing all terms by A.
- Find two numbers with sum -B and product C.
- They will sum to -B if they are the average of B plus or minus some number:
-B/2 +- u in other words: -B/2 = u and -B/2 = -u.
- And (-B/2 + u)(-B/2 - u) = C or -B/2 - u2 = C or u2
= C - B/2
- So u = sqrt(C - B/2).
Summary: x^2 + Bx + C = 0. u = sqrt(C - B/2), r = -B/2 + u, and w = -B/2
- u. So (r + x)(w - x) = 0.

Nicolaas Gerhardus Scheepers of
ElectronCraft asks:
Hi there, I am having trouble with arithmetic in assembler. I want to do
the following calculation:
Y = ((X-Xmin)((Ymax-Ymin)/(Xmax-Xmin))) + Ymin This is a formula to scale
a point between Xmax and Xmin to a point between Ymax and Ymin. The Y points
is 8-bit but the X points can be up to 16-bit values. You can already see
my problem because I cannot get any 16-bit divided by 16-bit algorith or
for that matter 24-bit divided by 16-bit that replies with the fractional
part. So I came up with the next formula to try and use a 16-bit divided
by 8-bit number to give back fractions:
Y = ((X-Xmin)(1/(Xmax-Xmin)/(Ymax-Ymin))) + Ymin But it just gets more complex
as I go along. My second problem is that say I work out the division and
now I must multiply the answer (which is fractional , how the hell do you
do it with the fractional part. Do you first multiply both numbers so they
are integer and then divide it again later with the same number or what.
Am I even on the right track here or am I going bananas? Please help me I
am now three months into the game and have learned a lot in a short space
of time but the learning just seems to grow and not level out, not that I
am complaining just a remark:-)
Rearrange the formula so that the top and bottom of the fraction is kept
seperate. What you really want is:
Y = ((X-Xmin)(Ymax-Ymin) + Ymin(Xmax-Xmin)) over Xmax-Xmin.
Now you can do the top and bottom seperatly. Multiplying by a fraction is
a seperate job but can still be done without division. It is a good
idea to reduce the fraction after each operation to prevent overflow. A method
for doing that is available but I can't find it at the moment.
Once you have the final answer, then you do the division.
