12.2 Handling Warnings
======================

Like an error, a warning is issued when something unexpected happens.
Unlike an error, a warning doesn’t abort the currently running program.
A simple example of a warning is when a number is divided by zero.  In
this case Octave will issue a warning and assign the value ‘Inf’ to the
result.

     a = 1/0
          ⊣ warning: division by zero
          ⇒ a = Inf
