Code: Select all

ULONG cCmdBinop(CODE_WORD const Code, ULONG LeftOp, ULONG RightOp, TYPE_CODE LeftType, TYPE_CODE RightType)
{
  UBYTE opCode;

  opCode = OP_CODE((&Code));

  switch (opCode)
  {

    /* ... */

    case OP_DIV:
    {
      //Catch divide-by-zero for a portable, well-defined result.
      //(x / 0) = 0. Thus Spake LOTHAR!! (It's technical.)
      if (RightOp == 0)
        return 0;

      /* ... */
    }

    /* ... */
  }
}

Thus spake Zarathustra!

what exactly do you want?

[muntoo]

Nothing. Just telling you what Zarathustra said. (And wondering if John or someone else wrote that.)

[HaWe]

what is the intention of your post "alias Zarathustra"?
Is it just nonsense or is there any sense in it?

[mightor]

Doc,

If this thread bothers you, I suggest you move onto the next one. It's not important, it's off-topic, as the name of sub-forum suggests.

Please move on, there's nothing to see here.

Thank you for your nice advice.

And you call yourself German? Did you watch the video? The 'song' was Also sprach Zarasthustra.

[spillerrec]

Does anyone know the origin of the phrase? (the LOTHAR!! one)

Not me, but I'm sure Lothar does.

mun2:
of course I know Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophical work "Also sprach Zarathustra",
and Richard Strauss' sinfonic poem by the same title,
and of COURSE I know Stanley Kubrick's movie "2001 - Space Odyssee" (probably longer than you are in the world), based on Arthur C. Clarke's novel.

But what in the world is that about your code and "Lothar" (...?) and what do you want to tell us by this?

(sry Xander, I'm simply too curious...)
