Re: Definition of integer division

Div by zero should be an error, whether integer or real.

What happens when I write this:

integer a, res;
a = 0;
res = 5 + (1/a);

1/a is now "x" but then is converted/coerced to integer(?)
for addition with 5.  What is the result of that "conversion"?
How do you make "x" an integer?  Do you get an error because
the simulator can't convert it to an integer?  That's sort of
indirect.
