The reported net earnings attributable to the Company were used when computing basic and diluted earnings per share. The following table sets forth the shares used as the denominator for those computations:



	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
(in thousands)	April 29, 2018	April 30, 2017	April 29, 2018	April 30, 2017
Basic weighted-average shares outstanding	529,799	528,712	529,626	528,649
Dilutive potential common shares	13,012	10,923	13,520	11,201
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding	542,811	539,635	543,146	539,850

For the second quarter and six months ended April 29, 2018, a total of 6.8 million and 6.1 million weighted-average stock options, respectively, were not included in the computation of dilutive potential common shares since their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect on earnings per share, compared to 4.5 million and 3.9 million, respectively, for the second quarter and six months ended April 30, 2017.
