I have tried to compile and run the code in Figure 3-2 page 46, which is as follows:

Code:

System.FormatException was unhandled
  Message="Input string was not in a correct format."
  Source="mscorlib"
  StackTrace:
       at System.Text.StringBuilder.FormatError()
       at System.Text.StringBuilder.AppendFormat(IFormatProvider provider, String format, Object[] args)
       at System.String.Format(IFormatProvider provider, String format, Object[] args)
       at System.IO.TextWriter.WriteLine(String format, Object arg0, Object arg1, Object arg2)
       at System.IO.TextWriter.SyncTextWriter.WriteLine(String format, Object arg0, Object arg1, Object arg2)
       at System.Console.WriteLine(String format, Object arg0, Object arg1, Object arg2)
       at ConsoleApplication1.Program.Main(String[] args) in C:\Documents and Settings\EludeR\Local Settings\Application Data\Temporary Projects\ConsoleApplication1\Program.cs:line 23
       at System.AppDomain.nExecuteAssembly(Assembly assembly, String[] args)
       at System.AppDomain.ExecuteAssembly(String assemblyFile, Evidence assemblySecurity, String[] args)
       at Microsoft.VisualStudio.HostingProcess.HostProc.RunUsersAssembly()
       at System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart_Context(Object state)
       at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(ExecutionContext executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state)
       at System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart()

I keep getting this exception at the division operation, sometimes it will divide at other times it will just stop right at the multiplication operation. Whenever it does complete the division operation it does not go past that (i.e. the remainder operation).
