Is there a quicker way to /4

Is there a bit shift operator?

I have some like x/4 every time round my loop, is there a quicker way of achiving this?

i.e x>>2 + x>>2

Thanks

Bit shift operators:
Shr, Shl

example:
x Shr 2
integer division by 4

But who knows -- maybe the compiler converts your x/4 to x Shr 2 during compile anyway...

Doubt, at least it makes a different exe file.

If its a float you can multiply by 0.25. In my experience most of these optimisations are a waste of time and destroy readability.

It does.
They are. "Simple" maths are not the appropriate place to optimize anymore.

Yup. The place to optimise is the whole approach to the problem.
