divzero(
NUMERATOR
,
DENOMINATOR
)
The divzero( function divides two numbers, returns zero if denominator is zero.
Parameters
This function has two parameters:
numerator – is the number you want to divide.
denominator – is the number you want to divide by.
Description
The divzero( function divides two numbers. However, unlike the / or ÷ operator, the divzero function does not return infinity if you attempt to divide by zero. If you attempt to divide by zero, this function simply returns zero.
divzero(15,3) ☞ 5
divzero(15,4) ☞ 3.75
divzero(15,0) ☞ 0
