|

|
|
||||||
|
## Special cases
|
||||||
|
There are some special (mostly arithmetic) cases where different languages might act one way or another, so here are a list of those cases and how Omega handles them:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Division by zero (`x / 0`)**
|
||||||
|
This causes a runtime exception.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Modulo of zero (`x % 0`)**
|
||||||
|
This also causes a runtime exception, as can be deducted.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Integer under-/overflow**
|
||||||
|
Trying to assign a number larger or smaller than the byte-limit of the type allows (ie. larger than `2147483647` for `i32` or smaller than `-2147483647`), will cause a runtime exception.
