Automatic conversion

[ravee]

public class Test {
static public void main(String s[]){
float f = 10;
System.out.println(f/0);
}
}
this program throws ArithmeticException and if I change the denominator to 0.0 works fine.
why ?
thanks

It works fine as it is(ie. (f/0)). It prints "infinity". Both float and double datatype take care of the divide by zero.
Here in the following 2 lines ,implicit conversion takes place ie
gets converted to float type.
float f = 10;
System.out.println(f/0);

ravee, your observations don't agree with what should happen and which did happened when I tested. Do you know why? Are you sure of what you said?
