Forums Bug Reports $calc(*/0)

My mIRC version: 6.03

//echo -a $calc(0/0)
* /echo: insufficient parameters

//echo -a $calc(1/0)
* /echo: insufficient parameters

I know mIRC isn't a math software.
:tongue:

Division by 0 is undefined resulting in mIRC returning $null. That is 100% mathematically valid, so I'm not sure what you are talking about.

$me thinks everything is OK

//echo -a 1 $+ $calc($calc(0/0)/1) $+ 1
101

//echo -a 1 $+ $calc($null/1) $+ 1
11

If $calc(0/0) is equal to $null then why it happens?

0 = "0"
&
$null = ""

that's the way it works

I get '101' for both of those.

In mIRC 6.1:
//echo -a $calc($null/1) returns "0"
//echo -a $calc($calc(0/0)/1) returns "0"

In mIRC 6.03:
//echo -a $calc($null/1) returns "* /echo: insufficient parameters"
//echo -a $calc($calc(0/0)/1) returns "0"

That's what I'm talking about.
Sorry for post things about an old mIRC version.

In mIRC v6.1, $calc() will return zero if you specify non-numeric parameters.

not that true, in my mIRC v6.1, //echo -a $calc(1/0) results in: * /echo: insufficient parameters

Try reading, if you specify non-numeric parameters. 1 and 0 are both numeric characters.

he edited it.

khaled edited his post, but I am almost sure he said it returns 0 for divisions by 0 AND not numeric parameters before :P

Larra: yes it did, sorry about that!
