    Your meme doesn’t work in the age of floating point numbers.

    Suggestion: “1.0/x for x>0→0.0 goes against infinity, so 1.0/0.0 is infinity.”

        Any sufficiently large number is indistinguishable from infinity.

        Wait. Something’s wrong…

      Floats are actually fairly limited in what they can do and you lose a lot of accuracy at some point
