(a) Challenges
Dividing by zero in programming is a major issue, as it goes against the fundamental logic of mathematical operations. Computers require precise rules, and division by zero is an impossibility, akin to trying to divide a pizza into zero slices. This can cause system errors and halt operations, causing significant disruption to businesses. The consequences of such errors include inaccurate data, delays, frustrated customers, and ultimately, financial losses
