Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per Share (EPS)

For the periods presented in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings, the calculations of basic EPS and EPS assuming dilution vary in that the weighted average shares outstanding assuming dilution include the incremental effect of stock options and other share-based payment awards, except when such effect would be antidilutive. The earnings per share calculation for the three-month period ended October 28, 2018, excludes approximately 2 million stock options that would have been antidilutive. The earnings per share calculation for the three-month period ended October 29, 2017, excludes approximately 1 million stock options that would have been antidilutive.
