Divisione by zero

Question

when dividing by zero it doesn't give me an error, but the result is 8, why?

Answer 1

Show us your code.

Answer 2

That returns an infinity in C# which is basically an arbitrary integer in memory. You need to provide an exception to return the proper description of it. It's still practically impossible to divide by zero.

Answer 3

Show the code.

Answer 4

{
double x = Convert.ToInt16(Console.ReadLine());
double y = Convert.ToInt16(Console.ReadLine());
double z = x / y;
Console.WriteLine(z);
}
