Please help - dividing doubles

I have two variables:
double a;
double b;

I can display them...
std::cout<<a<<" "<<b;

and I can display their sum, difference, and product. But when I make a new variable...
double c = a/b;

the program just stops when I try to display it. Can someone please tell me why this is?

Thanks

Well, generally you'll want to actually post the code you're having problems with.

Code:

---

#include <iostream>

int main( )
{
        double a, b, c;
        a = 1.1;
        b = 2.2;
        c = a / b;
        std::cout << "a is " << a
                  << " and b is " << b
                  << " and c is " << c
                  << "\n";
        return 0;
}

/*
a is 1.1 and b is 2.2 and c is 0.5
*/

Quzah.

That's what I was afraid of. I was hoping someone had experienced this before and could give a quick answer. Well, here it goes.

It is part of a matrix class I am trying to make. One of the functions I am having problems with is one which multiplies a row by a number.

Code:

---

void Matrix::MultiplyRow(int Row,double Factor)
{
        for(int u=1;u<=j;u++) {
                ChangeElement(Row,u,Factor*GetElement(Row,u));
        }
}

It works fine most of the time but fails if I try something like this:
matrix.MultiplyRow(1,1.0/b.GetElement(1,1));

I can display the denominator like this:
std::cout<<b.GetElement(1,1);

but this doesn't work:
std::cout<<1.0/b.GetElement(1,1);

Here are the ChangeElement() and GetElement() functions:

Code:

---

double GetElement(int row,int column)
{
return thematrix[column-1][row-1];
}
void ChangeElement(int row,int column,double value)
{
thematrix[column-1][row-1]=value;
}

Really? It works for me:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>

class Foo
{
        private:
                double matrix[5][5];
        public:
                double const GetElement( const int row, const int col )
                {
                        return matrix[row][col];
                }

                void ChangeElement( const int row, const int col, double d )
                {
                        matrix[row][col] = d;
                }

                Foo()
                {
                        int a, b;
                        for( a = 0; a < 5; a++ )
                                for( b = 0; b < 5; b++ )
                                        matrix[a][b] = a * 5 + b;
                }
};

int main( )
{
        Foo f;
        std::cout << 1.0 / f.GetElement( 1, 2 );
        return 0;
}

Thank you for your help.
I started a new project and used the exact same code I used before and this time it worked. Hmm, what could have caused that?
