Compiler Error CS0020

Division by constant zero

An expression uses a literal (not variable) value of zero in the denominator of a division operation. Division by zero is not defined, and is therefore invalid.

The following sample generates CS0020:

// CS0020.cs
namespace x
{
   public class b
   {
      public static void Main()
      {
         1 / 0;   // CS0020
      }
   }
}
