What does zero divided by zero equal?-Collection of common programming errors

  • It is indeterminate. Take sinx/x for example. When it approaches 0, the limit is 1. Take (1-cosx)/x for another example. When it approaches 0, the limit is 0. What about x/x^2? When it approaches 0, the limit is infinity. What about x^2/x as it approaches 0? When it approaches 0, the limit is 0. What about (x+1)(x-n)/(x+1)? As it approaches 0, the limit is N.

    That is why it is indeterminate. It can be any number.
