0/0 is not always consider as Nan

[flo]

Hi

I wrote a scilab function wich create vector with several terms are the result of the division 0/0. Sometimes scilab allow to do this operation and this terms are Nan. Thus I can use functions like nanmean. But sometimes scilab say error division by 0. I don't know why whith the same code and the same parameters, scilab don't have the same reaction. If someone know how make scilab to consider 0/0 as a Nan, please help me.

Thanks

Flo

I think the user who submitted this bug is unaware of the ieee() function.

Use ieee(0) to make division by zero an error.
Use ieee(1) to be warned when dividing by zero.
Use ieee(2) to silently allow division by zero.

If division by zero is not an error x/0 yeilds:
%nan if x=0
%inf if x>0
-%inf if x<0
