RangeError: BigInt division by zero
The JavaScript exception "BigInt division by zero" occurs when aBigInt is divided by0n.
Message
RangeError: Division by zero (V8-based)RangeError: BigInt division by zero (Firefox)RangeError: 0 is an invalid divisor value. (Safari)
Error type
What went wrong?
The divisor of adivision orremainder operator is0n. InNumber arithmetic, this producesInfinity, but there's no "infinity value" in BigInts, so an error is issued. Check if the divisor is0n before doing the division.
Examples
Division by 0n
js
const a = 1n;const b = 0n;const quotient = a / b;// RangeError: BigInt division by zeroInstead, check if the divisor is0n first, and either issue an error with a better message, or fallback to a different value, likeInfinity orundefined.
js
const a = 1n;const b = 0n;const quotient = b === 0n ? undefined : a / b;
