And 2**-1?
Your formulation tries to suggest some sort of logical consequence
but in my opinion, it's still a mere matter of taste and habits. I
remember my first steps in C++ 12 years ago when I tried to
implement a couple of astronomical formulae, always getting false
results because C++ calculated 3/4=0.
I think the only real reason for people prefering int/int=int is
that computers can deal with inteters better than with floats,
resulting in int-only arithmetic in computer languages. However, I
don't consider this a particularly good reason.
Tschö,
Torsten.
