On my un-scientific calculator it leads to „Fehler“ = „Error“. You‘re not implying infinity is an error, are you?
But if it is then the thread would be infinitively uninteresting.
Thank you all for taking „Off-Topic“ so seriously scientific, the thread is of infinitive multiple interest for all viewers. I‘m certain. At least I believe to be
It was a mistake on my part (I made it very quickly)
it should have always be number of responses + 1 :
x responses + 1 original post gives x + 1 messages.
No :
200/0 = ∞.
Or dividing by 0 is impossible depending on how you explain maths.
but it can’t equal 0.
who are both ? I’m not one of them.
But, hey, responding again here should mean this thread interests me, but it’s not.
I’m just waiting for my computers compute my renders and I don’t know what to do to keep myself busy while I watch the progressing results.
So you probably won’t see me on this thread again.
If you’re talking about division in the space of the real numbers (R), ∞ is not a number so division by 0 is impossible : you can’t get a result.
If you study the limit of a function, dividing by 0 tends towards ∞ (infinity) - (which is not a resulting number but an idea). Which, by convention is written : x/0 = ∞.
Or more precisely :
function is : f(x) = x/b. x is variable. b is parameter.
When b tends to 0, limit of f(x) = ∞.
Have to use derivative functions to demonstrate this.
Sorry if those words are not the right ones in english but this have sense in my langage.
Off course not, you were just coincidentally passing by and there was an unemployed keyboard on an unattended desk which needed some action, thank you so much… btw. it was a test. Of myself. I just exchanged the numbers like you exchanged the conclusion, testing if anybody would notice. 0/200= 0 and opposite of nothing is everything. 0 - ∞
We’re only exploring the boundaries of OFF-topic here. And should take some food with us on our way to frontiers no human ever crossed.
There’s another positive side effect: One cannot run into the risk of getting flagged as “off-topic” , except of course, one would try to ask to figure out some Photolab functions, but who would want that? That’s something for the less popular topics.
@Joanna, I had some free time last night, and was watching YouTube on my big-screen TV. I accidentally found a DxO information source I was not aware of before, 'Take Better Photos".
They have a large collection of “how-to” videos, and they describe things differently from what I remember reading and learning. Here’s just one example (Smart Lighting), but there are many more.
Oops, thanks. At one-am it sounded reasonable. Glad I asked you.
It started playing after Season Two, Episode One, of Columbo finished - shown in HD, no commercial interruptions. I loved that show decades ago, and enjoy it just as much today.
Having seen that training video, maybe I’ll be able to find an official version with correct information.
