Re: Quick Quiz #1 - DIV and MOD
BlackBox is one of the few environments I have come across that does the 'right' thing. The first time I saw the behaviour described was in 1986 in an article by Prof Wirth regarding Modula-2. As far as I know subsequent implementations of Modula-2 and Oberon all use that behaviour. That is how it ...

The conditions of the quiz are: a) Do not refer to the language report b) Do not try it in BlackBox until you have worked out the result with pen and paper To avoid winning the 'Spoiler of...

Re: Numerical Analysis
But what is to stop another compiler from rounding both sides of a + b <= 1. to 64-bit, thereby breaking this code? Nothing as far as I know. Intel have written an article which discusses how they tackle these sorts of issues in their compilers: http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/consistency-...
