[New-bugs-announce] [issue39086] Division "/" error on Long Integers

[Mradul Tiwari]

New submission from Mradul Tiwari <mradul at mnnit.ac.in>:

I'm a Competitive programmer and got Wrong Answer because of this division issue, which I figured out post Contest. Please See the attached screenshot.

The "/" operator gives float division but for long integers, it's giving integer answer. I've tested it on several values but the result doesn't matched with expected answers. I've also googled a lot about this but can't get the explanation.

Please go to link "https://codeforces.com/contest/1266/submission/67106918"
and see the actual arise of problem on SEVERAL VALUES, in detail section, in TestCase 3 which have very large integers.

In my code at that link, the error arises inside the function get(x) at line "c=(x-i)/14"
