Not sure if the correct term is indefinite or undefined... I mean something like an infinite series that does not sum to a particular value, like this:
X = 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1...
where pending the placement of parentheses one can infer multiple answers for X
So, is it proper to say
X times 0 equals 0 is true in spite of X being indefinite/undefined (or not well formed because X is an infinite series)?
Another way to ask this would be, are there any exceptions to X times 0 = 0 other than X having a division by 0 ?
