iphone calculator bug in 1.1.4: division by zero

Hello,

I hadn't noticed this, but of course you are correct - it happens on mine as well.

I would report this to Apple at : http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Hope fully they'll fix this is a future update. For the moment, I'd suggest showing your daughter that it isn't correct by using a "proper" calculator.

Cheers.

Can confirm that on 1.1.4 it does not display an error but shows the answer as 0 which is wrong. cannot confirm on any other version as i haven't tested it.

Of course the other answer is that a number divided by 0 will result in "Infinity" which is what the Mac OS built-in calculator displays. It also displays -Infinity if you try dividing a negative number by 0

Integer division by zero is usually handled differently from floating point since there is no integer representation for the result. Some processors generate an exception when an attempt is made to divide an integer by zero, although others will simply continue and generate an incorrect result for the division. (That result is often zero.) - Wiki.
