Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

EARNINGS PER SHARE DATA

EARNINGS PER SHARE DATA

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 28, 2019	April 29, 2018	April 28, 2019	April 29, 2018
Basic weighted-average shares outstanding	535,480	529,799	534,988	529,626
Dilutive potential common shares	10,850	13,012	11,736	13,520
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding	546,330	542,811	546,724	543,146

For the second quarter and six months ended April 28, 2019, a total of 2.1 million and 1.6 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 6.8 million and 6.1 million, respectively, for the second quarter and six months ended April 29, 2018.
