    1.#inf00000

    Hi all.

    I am having a problem with my output for the followig function:

    Code:
    void degree_membership(int index[cluster_num], int count1)
    {
            lower[count1] = 0.0;
    	for(i = 0; i < ROW; i++)
       {
          upper_euc[count1][i]= 1 / euc_total[count1][i];
          lower[count1] = lower[count1] + upper_euc[count1][i];
          printf("Lower: %lf\n", lower[count1]);
       }
    }
    When I try to printf the value for lower[count1], it returns 1.#INF00000 values for each loop iteration.

    Why this happen? Can anyone help me with this prob?

    Thanks in advance.

    Are you dividing by 0 somewhere? 1 / euc_total[count1][i] looks suspicious. If euc_total[count1][i] == 0 you'll divide by 0 and get either positive or negative infinity (IEEE used on most machines). Then, when you add this value to lower[count1] you'll set lower[count1] to infinity and infinity will be printed.

    That's a C program, and this is the C++ forum.

    Try changing this line
    Code:
    upper_euc[count1][i]= 1 / euc_total[count1][i];
    to
    Code:
    if(upper_euc[count1][i]) upper_euc[count1][i]= 1 / euc_total[count1][i];
