Allow for divide by zero to = zero

I know that you cannot divide anything by zero.

But, is it possible to have visual studio to give a result of zero if any arithmetic operation attempts to divide by zero?

if so, how?

for this particular project, it would actually save me a lot of work and code if I could allow anything that is / 0 = 0

I am looking to have the result of an integer divided by zero to equal zero. VB.NET Visual Studio 2010.

Why not using if in a static method if you want to access it in all computation?

C#/Java code

public static int myDivision(int dividend, int divisor)
{
    //return is the answer

    if(divisor == 0)
    { return 0; }
    else
    { return dividend/divisor; }

    //just do something like this
}

or for something clearer

public static int myDivision(int dividend, int divisor)
{
    int quotient = 0;

    if(divisor == 0)
    { return quotient; }
    else
    { 
      quotient = dividend/divisor;
      return quotient; 
    }

    //just do something like this
}

//note: you may also use it through an object method

I think the best solution is simply by checking the divisor of the division with an if statement. You can decide to perform the division if the divisor is not 0.
