Divide by zero error

Question

Hi,

I am getting an error "multiple floating point traps" with the following code

double z1,z2;

int a1;

z1 = 13.170000000000000;

z2 = 239992912253.29358;

a1 = z2 / z1;

Why do I get an error is a1 too large for an int?  THanks

Answer 1

I don't know what errors you are seeing but the result of z2/z1 (a bit over 18 billion) is indeed too large for an int. The maximum value of an int is ~2 billion, 2^31 - 1 to be precise.

Range for signed int is –2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647

Does result from your calculation fit in this range?
