Question

I am trying to figure out how to display "ERROR" after the equal sign when the user tries to divide by zero. The place where I have put the percent signs for now, it where I want "ERROR" to show up. How can I go about doing this? The normal thing that pops up there when I run the program is something like 1.#J and I don't know what that is.



else if (oper == '/')

cout << number1 << " / " << number2 <<" = "%%%%%%
<< number1 / number2 <<endl;



if (number2 == 0 )

cout << "Cannot divide by zero";
cout << endl;



system ("pause");
return 0;

}

else if (oper == '/')
{

if (number2 == 0 )
cout << "Cannot divide by zero" << endl;

// u have to check before performing division opeariton....

else
cout << number1 << " / " << number2 <<" = "%%%%%% << (number1 / number2) <<endl;
system ("pause");
return 0;

}
