neoneye, the demonstration is wrong. The last step is illegal - you cannot divide by zero!

(any coder should know by now)

I don't use VB.Net myself, but I suppose "On Error Resume Next"

Danzi: I just wanted to tell that a division by zero is illegal ;)

Um, doesn't EVERY language that conforms to the IEEE floating point spec (which defines Infinity, -Infinity and NaN) allow division by zero? Javascript certainly does: stick javascript:alert(1/0) in your location bar.

What? Random image? Sorry, where are my manners.

afaik, the solution to 1/0=x is EVERY number and not just infinity or anything relatively simple like that

A positive or negative number when divided by zero is a fraction with the zero as denominator. Zero divided by a negative or positive number is either zero or is expressed as a fraction with zero as numerator and the finite quantity as denominator. Zero divided by zero is zero.

Zero divided by zero is not zero - it could be zero - or one - or infinity. That is why it is an "undefined form".
a/0 --> (sign(a))infinity.
