divide by zero

1 New Member
printf("Divide by zero=%d",1/0);

is giving output 1

while

x=0,y=1;

printf("Divide by zero=%d",y/x);

is giving output as error"Divide by zero error" in TURBO C Compiler.

I want to know the clarification of these two cases,if somebody can help me.

Divide by zero is undefined behaviour, the compiler is free to do anything it wants.

All... I have a query that calculates various using variables from a survey database. As with any survey, there are many instantces of null values. I'm wondering if there is any way to escape the error caused by dividing by zero or null values. The specific message i get is: ERROR: floating point exception! The last floating point operation either exceeded legal ranges or was a divide by zero

Can anyone tell why the query below would throw a divide-by-zero error? The only reason I can see for the error happening would be if SUM() came out to be zero, but this never happens with the data I'm using. SOME of the values in the EXP_NET column are zero, but the sum itself is always non-zero. The query is: TRANSFORM SUM(-)/SUM()*100 AS DATA SELECT TBL.EQUIPMENT AS EQUIPMENT,

Hello! I was working on some code the other day, and I came across an odd discrepancy between the decimal and the double type. If I attempt to divide a decimal by zero, the framework throws an error. If I attempt to divide a double by zero, the framework returns infinity. From a mathematical standpoint, it would seem to me that the decimal handles this division correctly, while the double's handling of this is flawed. Is there a...

Hi, I have created a report in my Access db which has two columns - I'll call them Number1 and Number2. I have added a textbox to calculate a percentage from these two numbers =(/) with the format property set as percentage. My problem. Sometimes the number in Number2 is a zero, which means the result of the expression is invalid and gives me "#Num!" - I understand why this is happening, but I wondered if there was a way around it....

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
