try-catch for division by zero

by

Divide by zero is valid for floating point numbers.

  • 1/0 yields Infinity.
  • (-1)/0 yields -Infinity.
  • 0/0 yields NaN.

These “numbers” are properly defined in IEEE 754.

Integer division by zero, on the other hand, throws because one cannot represent infinity as an int.
