julia prints "Inf" instead of ZERO

[KevinMan46]

Did someone else noted that the result of the following code shows "Inf" instead of zero?

infOrzero = 1 / 2^3000
print(infOrzero)

#Shows Inf, not 0.0

In other languages the result is zero......., it seem only happens with 2 based pow.

You want 2.0^3000. Int^Intoverflows here so you have1/0`.

Thanks, I'm learning recently the language, thanks for your answer.

no problem. This is a fairly common tripping point from users who are coming from R or Python (or other languages that don't expose machine width integers)
