Integer division by zero

suggest change
int x = 5 / 0;    // Undefined behavior

Division by 0 is mathematically undefined, and as such it makes sense that this is undefined behavior.

However:

float x = 5.0f / 0.0f;   // x is +infinity

Most implementation implement IEEE-754, which defines floating point division by zero to return NaN (if numerator is 0.0f), infinity (if numerator is positive) or -infinity (if numerator is negative).
