Don't get high hopes with this command thinking what a great way of catching divisions by zero, the command is pretty useless in this respect:
// Arma 2 hint str finite (10/0); // true ... O_o Huh???? hint str (10/0); // 0 ... Weird, but that explains it. // Arma 3 hint str finite (10/0); // true + Error Zero Divisor hint str finite 10; // true hint str finite 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000; // false
