My program is getting weird FPE's so I made a test program to divide a float by 0, and divide 0.0 by a float. Both gave answers WITHOUT generating an FPE, soooooo, that kinda shoots that theory out the window... Is it because the float goes out of bounds, ie. number is too large or small? I'd really appreciate some feedback here, cause if i can fix the fpe's my program would be a lot more stable!
