can I divide a float with another float or with an integer?
I tried the following :
float mean =0;
int number = 0; //initialization... doesnt stay that way
cout <<_" mean : " << mean/number << endl;
and I keep getting the 2 same errors :
stray '\302' in program
stray '\240' in program
what am I doing wrong?
Luigi :D
it might be because you are dividing 0 / 0.
edit: actually, I don't get errors with this code. Is this the whole program?
edit_2: no errors if underscore taken out before string literal.
It should work. Dividing by 0 isn't like in math where weird stuff happens. I think a garbage result is returned.
Why is there an underscore after cout<< ?
i thought that if you do put a 'f' after the number then it will be a float if you dont it be a double..so it should be like this
Code:float mean = 0.0f;
//instead of float mean = 0;
Actually, very bad stuff happens. When you divide by 0 an exception is thrown, so if you don't try and catch, your program's gonna crash.Quote:

the underscore shouldnt be there..
error slipped while I typed it..
no I didnt cut and paste..
second : number's value doesnt stay that way like the comment said..
it goes up to 10..
so the error is not 0/0..
I dont have the whole code with me now Ill post it later when I get back home...
In the mean time Ill try float mean = 0.0f;
luigi
float mean = 0.0f; isnt going to help that just makes it a float instead of a double.....
well guess what..
I just re-tyoed exactly the same thing and now it works!
go wonder... :confused:
HO WELL!!!
Luigi
thx all
Really? I didn't know that. But i remember enterring an int divided by a 0 in my crappy calculator and a garbage result was displayed.Quote:
