did we have to account for whether or not the number in the array was 0 during the reciprocal method. I figure most people simply put 1/(whatever their array name is)[i], but if you do that then your gonna get a runtime error for dividing by 0. (unless dividing by double 0 is different for some reason, i dont remember)

i came up with my solution to continue; my loop if it is zero, but is this something we'll have to keep an eye out for in future labs?? i.e. not explictly stated issues??

Hey,

I validated the user's input if they put in 0. 

I usually add extra things in like try-catch exceptions for anything being put in by a user because you cannot trust your user is smart. Its always better to make your code better than what the interviewer/teacher/problem asks for. 

 

 

i was thinking to do that to but tbh.... i was to lazy to look up the exact exception name so i just caught the error early and adjusted it and continued the loop before any calculations.
