Unit 2 Reflection

Choose one numeric result that would have surprised you before this unit: integer division, narrowing conversion, overflow, or floating-point precision.

Explain the result by tracing the representation and intermediate operation Java actually used.

Then describe one application where choosing the wrong numeric representation could create a believable but incorrect result. Avoid vague answers like "a big program." Name the value being modeled and why the error would matter.
