Usually, I can predict that a numerator is going to be 0, e.g. in 1/(x^2). I just check the value of the numerator before doing the division.

In rare cases, I can't predict the value of the numerator. In those cases, I put a try control structure around the offending lines and some code to clean up after the "final" line.

Kind regards,

I often find that I have to deal with a division by zero error message in 
plotting functions, solving equation etc. Are there methods or techniques used 
to programmatically handle or work-around a possible division by zero? e.g. If 
I want to evaluate y= 1/(x-3), what can I do to deal with a possible x=3 
situation?

Thanks for your help,

Roger
