Zig Zag Decoding

by

Try this one:

(n >> 1) ^ (-(n & 1))

Edit:

I’m posting some sample code for verification:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
  unsigned int n;
  int r;

  for(n = 0; n < 10; n++) {
    r = (n >> 1) ^ (-(n & 1));
    printf("%u => %d\n", n, r);
  }

  return 0;
}

I get following results:

0 => 0
1 => -1
2 => 1
3 => -2
4 => 2
5 => -3
6 => 3
7 => -4
8 => 4
9 => -5
