 those cases. I suppose an alert would be better.

 I like the idea of reflecting on what 0 or -ve means so I would prefer
 some interesting response. A divide  by zero error message is good,
 reflect on the problems of constructing a ruler with an infinite number of
 marks at zero spacing. For -ve you could for example put 0 on the screen
 right or use -ve markings from the left
