Dividing by Zero

How can it be done?

It cannot be done, Venus.

[php]
float number;
std::cin >> number;
std::cout << number / 0 << '\n';
return 0;
[/php]

output:
1.#INF

Umm
It's esasy.

dividing any number by zero is impossible mathematically.

Code:

Let x -- = y <- Multiplying both sides by "0" to isolate the x, 0 x = y*0 x=0 wut?

Fooled yas.

in that equation, y was the variable and x was some constant. i.e consider

Code:

2 -- = y <- Again, multiplying both sides by "0" to isolate the "x" (which is now two) 0 2 = 0 c'est impossible!

He already divided by zero nib.

Infinity is not a correct answer nib.

Our maths teacher always told us if our answer wasn't acurate(e.g. 3/7) we should leave the 3/7 instead of writing 0.4285...
Sooo since we can't give an acurate answer to 3/0, just leave it like that

lol I love it he's right, just leave it as a fraction and don't worry about it

Don't do this Czar ; Bad Idea.
In custom graphing, It fries your hardware ; In Life, It results in something like this.

MacGyver with his Swiss army knife will divide by 0.. he is a ninja.. :\

You could try a recursive approach...if you have an infinite amount of memory and an infinite bit-size machine. (It makes sense)
