Re: [BUG]0/1=?

[Peter Cawley <lua@...>]

"1.#INF" is the result of tostring(1 / 0)
1.#INF (without quotes) is not a valid numeric constant ("A numerical
constant may be written with an optional decimal part and an optional
decimal exponent. Lua also accepts integer hexadecimal constants, by
prefixing them with 0x")
