<p>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 <code>Inf</code>
to the result.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">a = 1/0
-| warning: division by zero
⇒ a = Inf
