Even though dividing by zero can give different results depending on the situation. I like to to be able to do it. Specially when I code I apply division by zero for some special tricks.

What I usualy regard division by zero is a not actually a division by zero but a number that is going towards zero and from the pattern of results aquired you approximate what a division by zero would yeild. No fuss, just some general logical acceptance.

Zero division is possible, it only depends on how you can store +INF and -INF

OH funny I had thought it WAS in fact a number

Obviously it must be a letter, the highest letter you can spam up to on world4ch, thank you for the clear information anonymous.

it's not a number, its a trend.  it lacks finite-ness.  it is more than any finite number.  that is why it is infinite.

its still a fucking number, what does that trend in fact represent again?
exactly

youre pretty thick.  by definition, it is not a number.  so no, it is not a number, and it never was.

It all depends on which set you refer to with 'number'. In math, it's generally the reals (because fields are nice).

alright, look.  if it were a number, you could add one to it to get a larger number, and that would be the new infinity, and the process could be repeated.  however, arithmetic with infinity works like this
infinity + 1 = infinity
if you assume it is a number, shitloads of absurdities arise.
you can keep saying its a number all you want, but it's not, and anyone who knows shitfuck about it will know you're wrong.

What I wonder is, why does my FPU differentiate between ±NaN (Not a Number) and ±INF (Infinity)?

Alrightly, look, if it weren't a number, WHAT THE FUCK DOES IT REPRESENT, WHAT DOES IT CONSIST OF? LETTERS? TURTLES? DELICIOUS FUCKING CAKE?
NO, ITS FUCKING A NUMBER

no. in the extended real numbers, you just add two points which aren't reals, and order them to be either greater or less than every real and then denote them using symbols -inf and +inf.

Still wondering why is Infinite different to Not-A-Number in my FPU. It means it thinks Infinite is a number.

No, it just means the people who made the standard thought it would be a good idea to have division by zero give a distinct result.
PROTIP: Math is defined by mathematicians, not computer standards committees.

0/0  is undefined in general.  In equations and the likes, though, you can apply L'Hopital's, and sometimes come out with something useful.
