When you want to compute something interesting zero disisors
appear naturally. Of course, program needs some code to
handle them in alternative way. One pattern which appear
looks in pseudo code (not C) like:
while(true) {
try {
Like you said, not C.
a = random();
r = b/a;
There's your mistake right there. You meant to say.
while(!(a = random());
return b/a;
Half the code and without the bug.

However, when hardware can detect
error in division it is simpler to let hardware do the work.
No doubt that was the reasoning that crippled the Yorktown.
