Bug description: Dividing number by half over and over eventually returns 0
Description:
------------
There is a problem out there that states that if you take a number and
keep dividing it by half you should never reach zero. But apparently in
PHP that is not the case..
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$number = 50;
echo "Starting Number: $number<br>";
while($number > 0){
$number = $number / 2;
echo "Number: $number<br>";
}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
It should just go on for a ridiculous amount of time until it memory
leaks...
Actual result:
--------------
It ends up at 0.
