Why doesn't dividing by zero with doubles throw an exception?

Question

This is the code:

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        double varrr = Divide(10, 0);
    }

    static double Divide(double a, d         


        

Answer 1

MSDN explains that DivideByZeroException is only thrown "[when] trying to divide an integer or decimal number by zero", whereas

floating-point operations return PositiveInfinity or NegativeInfinity to signal an overflow condition.

Use Double.IsInfinity() instead:

if (double.IsInfinity(c))
{
    Console.WriteLine("Division by zero not allowed");
    return 0;
}
