you can't divide the apples among 0 people and then claim to still have them, because in that case you would have divided them among 1 people

- dmz73 2y agoLike everything in life, it depends... For example: Storage has 5 items that need to be processed. 5 items need to be split equaly between available processes. There are currently 0 available processes so 5 / 0 = 0 items to be processed is more correct than either 5 or Nan or infinity.
- Almondsetat 2y agoYour example is quite vague (e.g. are we dealing with an integer number of items and processes?) and in general if something looks kinda like a division it doesn't mean it is exactly division. Just like in math, we have the power to simply say: if COND -> divide normally, else -> do something else.
