Dr Anderson solves divide by zero problem by making up bullshit.
“Imagine you’re landing on an aeroplane and the automatic pilot’s working,” he suggests. “If it divides by zero and the computer stops working - you’re in big trouble. If your heart pacemaker divides by zero, you’re dead.”
If your on an aeroplane and the automatic pilot’s working and it divides by zero and you get a value that is not a real number that relates to the physical world then you are still fucked. Someone should have caught that exception.
