    Angry 0 isn't 0 in C++ math

    OK, i have a script, which calculate Y=1/(C-A). C is input, A is intetrval [Ap;Ag] with step Az;
    And i have one problem, when c=2, A[-1.5;2.5] with step 0.1, when i want to say that 0 isn't possible in 1/0, the program colculate me: Y = -2.1e+06 . Programm is not English language, sorry. Problem in answer line 36.

    Code:
    /*
     */
    #include <iostream>
    #include <cstdlib>
    #include <iomanip>
    using namespace std;
    int main ()
    {
        float y, c, ap, az, ag;
    
    	cout << "Iveskite kintamojo C reiksme.\n"; 
    	cin >> c; //įvedame C reikšmę
    	do {
    		cout << "Iveskite intervalo pradzia ir gala.\nPradzia ir galas sutapti negali!\n";
    	    cin >> ap >> ag; //įvedame intervalo pradžią ir galą
    	} while (ap == ag); //išsireikalaujame, kad intervalo pradžia ir galas nesutaptų   
      	do {
    		cout << "Iveskite intervalo kitimo zingsni, kuris nelygus 0.\n";
    		cin >> az; //įvedame intervalo kitimo žingsnį
    	} while (az == 0.0); //išsireikalaujame, kad intervalo kitimo ˛ingsnis būtų nelygus 0
    	if (ag > ap && az > 0.0) { //jei intervalas didėjantis IR žingsnis DIDESNIS už 0, skaičiuojame
    		cout << setfill('-') << setw(58) << "-" << endl;
    		cout << setfill(' ') << setw(8)<<"Sprendinio nr. " <<"|  "<<"Atsakymas\n";
    		cout << setfill('-') << setw(58) << "-" << setfill(' ') <<endl;
    		for (float z = 1.0, a = ap; a <= ag; a += az) {
    			if (a == c) { //jei vardiklis lygus 0
    				cout << setfill(' ') << setw(14) << z << ".  ";
                    cout << "Kai A = " << a <<", o " << c << " - " << a <<" = 0, apskaiciuoti\nnegalima, nes dalyba is 0 negalima.\n";
    			}
    			else {
    				y = 1.0 / (c - a); //skaičiuojame
    				cout << setfill(' ') << setw(14) << z << ".  " << "Y = "  << setprecision(3) << y << endl;	
    			}
    			z++; //prisideame vienetuką prie sprendinio nr.
    		}	
    	
    	}
    	if (ag < ap && az < 0.0) { //jei intervalas mažėjantis IR žingsnis MAŽESNIS uz 0
    		cout << setfill('-') << setw(58) << "-" << endl;
    		cout << setfill(' ') << setw(8)<<"Sprendinio nr. " <<"|  "<<"Atsakymas\n";
    		cout << setfill('-') << setw(58) << "-" << setfill(' ') <<endl;
    		for (float z = 1.0, a = ap; a >= ag; a += az) {
    			if (a == c) { //jei vardiklis lygus 0
    				cout << setfill(' ') << setw(14) << z << ".  ";
                    cout << "Kai A = " << a <<", o " << c << " - " << a <<" = 0, apskaiciuoti\nnegalima, nes dalyba is 0 negalima.\n";
    			}
    			else {
    				y = 1.0 / (c - a); //skaičiuojame
    				cout << setfill(' ') << setw(14) << z << ".  " << "Y = "  << setprecision(3) << y << endl;	
    			}
    			z++; //prisideame vienetuką prie sprendinio nr.
    		}	
    		
    	}
    	if (ag > ap && az < 0.0) { //jei intervalas didėjantis IR žingsnis MAŽESNIS uz 0
    		cout << setfill('-') << setw(58) << "-" << endl;
    		cout << "Apskaiciuoti negalime,\nnes intervalas didejantis,\no zingsnis mazejantis.\n";
    	}			
    	if (ag < ap && az > 0.0) { //jei intervalas mažejantis IR žingsnis DIDESNIS už 0
    		cout << setfill('-') << setw(58) << "-" << endl;
    		cout << "Apskaiciuoti negalime,\nnes intervalas mazejantis,\no zingsnis didejantis.\n";
    	}			
    	cout << setfill('-') << setw(58) << "-" << setfill(' ') <<endl;
    	system ("pause");
    	return 0;
    }
    Code:
    Iveskite kintamojo C reiksme.

    Iveskite intervalo pradzia ir gala.
    Pradzia ir galas sutapti negali!
    -1.5

    There is a Visual C++ Programming forum, and Visual C++ is code, not script.

    Did you, perhaps, mean "A is a value within intetrval [Ap;Ag]"?

    Anyway, have a look at:

    Im reading, and Im very new in C++, so I dont find how I can do the folowing that a == c, then a and c is floats.

    In general you cannot just compare floats as "a == c". You have to implement some relative small (with respect to the "a" and "c") value ("delta") and compare like:
    Code:
    if(abs(a - c) < delta)
    {
       ...
    }

    but abs want me to use int, my a and c is floats

    Well, I meant this abs, _abs64

    However, you can use fabs instead.

    when i want to say that 0 isn't possible in 1/0, the program colculate me: Y = -2.1e+06
    Result of 1/0 is infinity, while programming languages operate with only finite figures. So you have the best result FPU was able to provide.

    Im still geting
    Code:

    1.11      -0.9      0
    1.25      -0.8      0
    1.43      -0.7      0

    -1.11      0.9      0
    trying everything, and still dont get how to fix it.

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <cstdlib>
    #include <iomanip>
    #include <math.h>
    
    using namespace std;
    int main ()
    {
        float y, c, ap, ag;
        c = 0;
        ap = -1;
        ag = 1;
        float az = 0.1;
        if (ag > ap && az > 0.0) { 		
    		for (float a = ap; a <= ag; a += az) {
    			if ( fabsf(c - a) < 0.0 && fabsf(c - a) > 0.0 ) {
                    cout << "1/0 not posible";
    			}
    			else {
    				y = 1.0 / (c - a);
                    cout  << setprecision(4) << y <<"      " << a << "      " << c << endl;	
    			}
    		}	
            
    	}
        else cout << "STOP";
    	system ("pause");
    	return 0;

    Re: 0 isn't 0 in C++ math

    It's impossible to succeed with the condition fabsf(c - a) < 0.0. Victor meant something like fabsf(c - a) < 0.00001.

    Yes, but why in my code -0.1 + 0.1 is not 0?

    Yes, it works, but maybe it is shortes way to compare c-a is 0?

    I don't know what's wrong with your code, but mine works fine:
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    int main()
    {
        float a = -0.1;
        printf("%f", a +0.1);
        return 0;
    }

    D:\Temp\8>8.exe

    -0.000000
    Best regards,
    Igor

        printf("%f", a +0.1);
        return 0;
    }
    when add one time its true, but when you do it with cycle it looks something like this

    a = -0.1 + 0.01000000001 and so on
    and then you compare 0 with a it is looks something like this 0 != 0.0000000000001

    Well, the big mistake you make is that you think math and programming are the same. Floats in programming have finite precision, so you must take certain precautions and tricks to succeed with your calculations. Like comparing with 0.00001, for example.

    Yep, see above: float calculations have finite precision. And the result might fluctuate a little.
