Thanks Sreenivas for the question. Indeed we discussed the situation of "Divide by zero error" in your earlier QOTD discussion forum "While Loop - 1".

All in all ending this week on a good note 🙂

Thanks for good question. Error is because of data type. SQLserver implicitly convert float into integer for @b-2 variable. Hence divide by zero error encountered.

Oopes I am clear with answer now..

I confused with the byte size of int and float so select wrong answer... 🙁 🙁

as .001 will will gets converted into 0 so when counter moves to 4 it will show error 'divide by zero encountered'

Good question, thank you. Had to read twice to make sure I wasn't missing a 'trick'!

---

Note to developers:
CAST(SUBSTRING(CAST(FLOOR(NULLIF(ISNULL(COALESCE(1,NULL),NULL),NULL)) AS CHAR(1)),1,1) AS INT) == 1
So why complicate your code AND MAKE MY JOB HARDER??!:crazy:

Darn! Saw the question, and for a few various reasons I thought it was the same question as the last time, and presumed a mistake with SSC or caching or something, so answered same as last time and Doh! Wrong!

That'll teach me not to pay attention :doze:
