If you divide an integer by an integer in your computer program you will get an integer result.
I almost overlooked this. When a computer does integer division it does yield integer results. Except when it divides by zero. This usually pitches an exception error. You deal with it using exception handlers and, as part of the exception handler, you set your variable storing the answer to formula that divided by zero to null or your arbitrary value like I talked about in post #100. At least you'd better use exception handlers, because if you don't, that pacemaker the article talks about gets a BSOD and someone's heart stops.
