What is the difference between this?
hi all,
I just want to know difference between following statements. please help me out.
1. double d = 10.0 / 0;
2. double d = 10/ 0;
the first one wil give result "Infinity"
and the second create / by zero exception.
why it is like that...
again double d = (double)10/ 0 will give result "infinity".
thanks in advance.

Notice the right side (only) of the operations; never mind about the process after the arithmetic operation:
1. because you're dividing two doubles, you get infinity
2. because you're dividing two integers, you get arithmetic exception.
This is the behavior when you divide double/integer with zero; all these rules are set in Java Language Specifications.
From Wiki:In computer programming, integer division by zero may cause a program to terminate or, as in the case of floating point numbers, may result in a special not-a-number value.In Java integer division by zero definately terminates the program.
