LongDivision.java

//        Given two integers dividend and divisor, divide two integers without using multiplication,
//        division, and mod operator.
//
//        The integer division should truncate toward zero, which means losing its fractional part.
//        For example, 8.345 would be truncated to 8, and -2.7335 would be truncated to -2. My
//        method used Long Division, here is the source
//        "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_division"
