Re: Strange java behaviour

Please got through the following code snippet.

class NanTest {

public static void main ( String args [ ] ) {
int intX = 10 ; // line 1
float floatX = 10 ; // line 2
double doubleX = floatX / 0 ; // line 3
double doubleY = intX / 0 ; // line 4
System . out . println ( doubleX == doubleY ) ; // line 5
}
}

It throws exception on line 4 but not on line 3.
Could anyone please explain this.


Line 4 is an int division by zero, and there is no way to represent the
result as an int, so it throws an exception.

Line 3 is a float division by zero, and there is a value,
Float.POSITIVE_INFINITY, that represents the result of dividing a
positive float by a zero float.
