| My program cannot read the zeros from the spread sheet, it takes it
as NaN, even if it is 0 divided by the number which is suppose to be
0 it display it as NaN. How can I modify my program to work?

---------------
If you attempt to divide by zero, you will get a NaN if the numerator is
also zero since such a quotient is undefined. If the numerator is
nonzero, you will get an infinite result (inf or -inf.) If you don't want
such results, you should not be dividing by zero.
