Divide-by-zero not throwing an exception but giving NaN or Infinity

Help Studio
1

I’m dividing by zero using Assign dblResult = 0/0 or Assign dblResult = 1/0 but instead of throwing an exception it gives dblResult.ToString = “NaN” for 0/0 or dblResult.ToString = “Infinity” for 1/0. In both cases dblResult.IsNumeric returns True. dblResult is a System.Double variable.

This doesn’t match anything I can find in the documentation or forum, so why doesn’t it throw an exception and where are “Infinity” and “NaN” documented?

Hi,

As Double type can has NaN or Infinity, there is no Zero divide exception.
If you need to check it, the following will help you.

Double.IsInfinity(dblVar) OrElse Double.IsNaN(dblVar)
