#INF instead of the error

oleg

I write:
print((1/0))
and instead of an error in the console I get:

main.lua is uploading. Uploading finished. 1.#INF

where can I read about #INF ??

antix

@oleg why would you want to divide by zero? That's always been something to be avoided in the world of programming

oleg

@antix I wanted to create an error

antix

@oleg congrats, you won the prize for making an error!! @hgy29, dispense a prize to @oleg immediately

oleg

@antix My question was not about the error, but about the #INF

hgy29

@oleg, what are you after actually? It is typical for fpu to return infinite (either +inf or -inf) when dividing by zero. It is even a correct math answer...

oleg

@hgy29 can you give an example how can i use #inf?

oleg

I already figured out myself:

x = 3 print(x/0 == math.inf) --> true print(math.log(0) == -math.inf) --> true
