No. The reason you got a "floating point

I had a hard time imagining a C that used floating point ops to
handle integer divides. On the other hand, if someone wasn't
watching the type of their variables, they might not realize
that a right-hand operation would be calculated as floats,
even if it was being stored back into an int.

Overflow? What if that was what you wanted to happen? After all,
you wrote it that way.
