How do i do THAT!? I may fail at maths but HEY...
I get a runtime error whining about "dividing by zero"
If it has to divide 0 by 0 it should be 0. not error -.-

What Schnitzelnagler said.
One way to solve your problem is to make sure that your denominator never becomes zero - which can be done using max(1,...) | |

What Schnitzelnagler said. This is bs. since when is 0 / 0 NOT 0? United as one. Divided by zero. | |
Um, it has been like that much longer then you have lived?
Use your calculator to do 0/0 or X/0 (X = anything), it'll give you error. You'll learn the whole reason why /0 = undefined when you take calculus. What you are thinking of is 0/1 = 0; 0/0 != 0. Ask your math teacher as well if you don't believe us and you do not believe your calculator's answer "ERROR" | |
HEY. When i was born there was no internet - and no girls on it.
So what do you suggest i do in the case when both stats are 0? | |
I told you in [link] (and in case you are still wondering what to do - look up the procedure shown).

since when is 0 / 0 NOT 0? Since forever. It's simply an operation that doesn't exist; you can't divide something by 0. Try taking an apple and dividing it into 0 pieces. Not possible. Trying to divide something by 0 is an undefined operation, it's similar to telling Dream Maker to execute the procedure blarghkatakitikataka() (when it doesn't exist). Besides, by usual simple math rules when you divide a number by itself, you always get 1, 10/10=1, 3/3=1 etc, so why are you saying 0/0 equals 0? The truth is that a number divided by 0 doesn't equal anything, it doesn't have an actually determinable value. At least not as far as current age math is concerned. | |
oh mislooked.
Got it. Thanks. Damn.... i never divided anything by 0 so i didnt know its not possible :O | |

Then you'd have 1 apple, thus 1 piece. It's not possible. Oh come on. if you have 1 apple and divide it in 0 pieces u will still have 1 whole apple. If you have 0 apples and divide into 0 apples.... who invented maths? | |
Math is LOGIC, not your own impression of things.
According to your logic, dividing an apple in 1 piece = 1 apple. Dividing an apple into 0 pieces = 1 apple. If you accept this, 1=0. Again, math is LOGIC, and it wasn't "invented", it came to be. If you don't understand it, fine, but leave it, it's obviously stuff way beyond your comprehension. | |

No. You'd have that with subtraction. 1 whole apple is one piece (the original one at that), so no division took place at all (since you didn't try to divide by 1), naturally, since it's not possible. If you divide by any number other than 1, the result should change. | |
Yes, I'm sorry to say, but you do.
Division by zero is tricky businesses.
And no, zero divided by zero should by no means yield zero.
