Talk:Detect division by zero

Many of the solutions here simply check that the result is infinite. This will fail if the numerator is 0 too, since 0 / 0 is mathematically incalculable (many languages return NaN here).

A correct pseudocode solution is:

result = numerator / denominator
if numerator equals 0
   if result is not a number
      divide by zero action
   end
else 
   if result is infinite
      divide by zero action
   end
end
