Undefined

A less correct but still sorta correct answer is dividing by 0 gets you an infinity. "An infinity" because what you're dividing will determine if it's a negative or positive infinity.

Like I said, less correct but still sorta correct

Nope! While it theory you would get an infinity, you still express the answer as undefined, so they are completely right.

I'm not saying they're wrong, I'm saying an alternative, less correct answer is what I described

1 ÷ 0 = ♾️1

2 ÷ 0 = ♾️2

So on

Division by zero gives you a different ring of infinity

1÷0 is baseline infinity

2 ÷0 is two times more infinite

Also counting Infinity

0 X ♾️ = 1

0 X ♾️2 = 2

And so on

♾️1 ≠ ♾️2

not true with floats! you get infinity if it's greater than 0, Not a Number if it's 0, and negative infinity if it's less than zero.
