Dividing by 0 or -0 is a valid floating-point operation because there's an infin...

your explanation makes sense, however python doesn't allow division of floating point number by 0 either:

  >>> type(1.0)
  <class 'float'>
  >>> 1.0/0
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  ZeroDivisionError: float division by zero

However numpy lets you do it - it is only a warning

  >>> import numpy as np

  >>>
  >>> np.divide(1.0,0)
  __main__:1: RuntimeWarning: divide by zero encountered in    true_divide
  inf

Wow, Python really does hold your hand.

>>> 1/0.0

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

ZeroDivisionError: float division by zero

>>> 1.0/0.0

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

ZeroDivisionError: float division by zero
