Hello again,
Continuing on with my floating point adventures, I have a question that I
hope someone can provide some input on.
I'm general idea of what I'm doing the following:
double zero = 0.0;
notify(fpnotecatch); //Ignore divide by zero note for a moment
double pInf = 1.0/zero;
notify(0); //Back to default note handler
if(isInf(pInf, 1) <= 0 && isInf(pInf, 0) <= 0) exits("Divide by zero
did not result in infinity");
The error "did not result in infinity" is always tripped. My understanding
is that according to the spec it should have resulted in either + or -
infinity.
I suspect it's not required as there was a note thrown instead, and I can't
think of any reason why you would deliberately ignore the note like I do of
the top of my head. Thought I would mention it anyway see what input you
guys had.
Regards,
Rid.
