Hi William, there's no other sane way to handle division by 0 in the audio domain since the result must be a number and there are only two options: output 0 or some ridiculously large number (which would be quite dangerous). Pd *could* handle it differently in the control domain, but why? as Matt said: just don't divide by 0 :-)

I have a function which blows up at a certain point, moves to infinity. In this case, it is basically 1/0. I was a little surprised to find that 1/0 = 0 (according to Pd). I was expecting NaN, or an overflow condition would could be trapped. So what I have to do is examine the *input* for the values which will blow up my function, and set a flag. While this is easy in this single case, it is awkward in the general case. This seems somewhat broken to me. Is this a bug? Thanks BH
