It is a ingenius algorythm, but only efficient for 64 bit processors. On an 8bit machine the 8 fold
if a and 128 then b=b+1
If a and 64 then b=b+2
Etc....
If a and 64 then b=b+2
Etc....
Is MUCH faster...
And a 256 entry lookup table is superior, even to the above algorythm. The charm of it is that it is a simple formula, hiding smart thinking... from rhe real math wizards
