Well you don't get the 50 yards of paper these days, but dividing by zero is still very much a no-no. It's a basic rule of coding to test that the denominator is not zero before dividing to ensure you don't get an error.

And what happens if you don't?

Multiply by zero, get zero.
Divide by zero, undefined, therefore error.

If we are going to wax mathematically philosophical here, it is interesting to note that modern higher math embraces all sorts of ridiculous concepts of numbers, starting with the insane, but totally indispensable square root of negative 1 (i). It is even called "imaginary! And infinity (which has no physical meaning - Sorry Buzz Lightyear!) is used regularly in simple integrals in physics! But that poor, simple number 1 divided by zero, is excluded and banished to outer darkness, allowed no meaning in math. Left to wander in perpetual ignominy.:(:(:(

There's higher maths, and there's the real world where things actually follow rules and work or don't work :D If you live in that world, don't divide by zero. It's a common mistake I see for people trying to create reports or spreadsheets for example.

On a different note, this recently published photo of Mark Zuckerberg makes him look remarkably like Commander Data of Star Trek
