Know the limits

  • The original used rest arguments; the lab passes one array with at least one number. Dividing by 0 gives Infinity (null in JSON).

The function above is the implementation used by the lab. The lab validates JSON types and caps size before execution; include equivalent validation when accepting untrusted input in your application.
