In compiler construction, strength reduction is a compiler optimization where expensive operations are replaced with equivalent but less expensive operations. The classic example of strength reduction converts strong multiplications inside a loop into weaker additions – something that frequently occurs in array addressing.(Cooper, Simpson & Vick 1995, p.
