Example
int foo (int iX, int iY) { int iZ = iX/iY; return iX*iY; }In the above example, although the division of iX by iY is computed and never used, it will throw an exception when a division by zero occurs. Therefore the removal of the dead code may change the output of the program.

Famous quotes containing the word example:
“Our intellect is not the most subtle, the most powerful, the most appropriate, instrument for revealing the truth. It is life that, little by little, example by example, permits us to see that what is most important to our heart, or to our mind, is learned not by reasoning but through other agencies. Then it is that the intellect, observing their superiority, abdicates its control to them upon reasoned grounds and agrees to become their collaborator and lackey.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
