java infinity 处理,是什么决定了Java除法运算中的Nan和Infinity

Output of the below code confusing me. Why NaN sometimes and Infinity other times ?

public static void main (String[] args) {

double a = 0.0;

double b = 1.0;

int c = 0;

System.out.println(a/0.0);

System.out.println(a/0);

System.out.println(b/0.0);

System.out.println(b/0);

System.out.println(c/0.0);

System.out.println(c/0);

}

Outputs is:

NaN

NaN

Infinity

Infinity

NaN

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero

What is the deciding factor here ?

解决方案

This is because of The IEEE Standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic (IEEE 754) which is a technical standard for floating-point computation established in 1985 by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

The purpose:

The IEEE floating-point standard,.. specifies that every floating

point arithmetic operation, including division by zero, has a

well-defined result. The standard supports signed zero, as well as

infinity and NaN (not a number). There are two zeroes: +0 (positive zero) and −0 (negative zero) and this removes any

ambiguity when dividing.

The Rule:

In IEEE 754 arithmetic, a ÷ +0 is positive infinity when a is

positive, negative infinity when a is negative, and NaN when a = ±0.
