29. Divide Two Integers - Medium

Given two integers dividend and divisor, divide two integers without using multiplication, division and mod operator.

Return the quotient after dividing dividend by divisor.

The integer division should truncate toward zero.

Example 1:

Input: dividend = 10, divisor = 3
Output: 3

Example 2:

Input: dividend = 7, divisor = -3
Output: -2

Note:

• Both dividend and divisor will be 32-bit signed integers.
• The divisor will never be 0.
• Assume we are dealing with an environment which could only store integers within the 32-bit signed integer range: [−231,  231 − 1]. For the purpose of this problem, assume that your function returns 231 − 1 when the division result overflows.

 

只能用加减来实现除法-> recutsion。主要考虑以下几种情况：

1. 溢出 -> 用long

2. 被除数为0 或者 被除数小于除数 -> 返回0

3. 符号问题

time: O(logn), space: O(logn)
