Why does the compiler not show an error when we try to divide a variable by zero

Question

If we try to run this code:

int d = 10/0;

We get a compiler error. So we cannot divide by zero.

Now consider this code:

<         


        

Answer 1

The first:

int d=10/0;

will be resolved due compile time, because it is constant. The second will not be resolved because the compiler do only syntax checks, not math check.
