Reconciliation of basic and diluted weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding was as follows:

	Three Months Ended
(Shares in millions)	January 31, 2025	February 2, 2024
Diluted
Weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding - Basic	101.3	104.4
Effect of dilutive shares	0.4	0.3
Weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding - Diluted	101.7	104.7

The effect of dilutive shares from stock option awards and restricted stock unit awards is computed under the treasury stock method. Stock option awards to purchase 1,942,590 and 850,327 shares of common stock during the first three months of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted net earnings per share of common stock because they were anti-dilutive.
