At ReliSource, we used to have a mailing list called CPP in which we submitted C/C++ related facts/questions (and solutions). I'll share some of those facts/questions in my blog.
Here goes a quick C/C++ problem that I'm sure you will find interesting.
// x is a numeric variable (of built in/intrinsic data type).
if (x > 10)
{
cout << "x is > 10\n";
}
else if (x <= 10)
{
cout << "x is <= 10\n";
}
For some reason, the program didn't output anything, none of the if or else-if was executed. What can be the reason?
You shall find the answer in the comments after a week of this post (if someone already doesn't answer it).

Probably because of floating point error, although this highly seems improbabable from the code you given.
We know that usually for double/float you shouldn't do = (equal to checking), you should check with an err margin value. But I am surprised that none of the conditions executed. Maybe somebody was wise enough to override the = or <= operators?
@luc:
It's not an operator overriding case.. you actually cannot override the operators which take built-in/intrinsic data types (int or float for example) on both sides which is the case here.
But you are very close.. it's related to floating point error :).
If I just consider your question, "none of the if/else if condition executed, why?" .. a reason can be just before the if condition there was a divide by zero error :) and the program's execution path changed ... (failed programming joke :):))
On a more serious note,
not answering your question here,
(actually i don't know the answer, except that it's a floating point error which shouldn't have occured..)
just an interesting set of thoughts invoked by your post..
------------------------------
Consider this bit of code..
float x;
x = 11.1;
if (x > 10)
{
std::cout << "x is > 10\n";
}
else if (x <= 10)
{
std::cout << "x is <= 10\n";
}
You can make none of the conditions (if/else if) execute, if you add the following code on top :
class A
{
public:
int operator > (int x)
{
return 0;
}
int operator <= (int x)
{
return 0;
}
} a;
#define float A
#define x a
also you need to add the '= 'overloaded operator in class A. I just missed that while posting the comment.
kaisar sharif here
i could'nt regester my programme even i have the procedure to crack it these are the steps
Step 1: Install the program
Step 2: Backup the original executable
Step 3: Replace with the cracked executable
Step 4: Run the application.
plz help me i don't know how to backup the file plzzzzzzzzz help

float NAN (0.f/0.f) returns false to all tests. I would guess that would be the reason.
