Hi nitpickers!

Here the answers from my two statistical systems of choice.

SAS:

 data null;

 x=log(0);

 run;



NOTE: Invalid argument to function LOG at line 40530 column 4.

x=. _ERROR_=1 _N_=1

NOTE: Mathematical operations could not be performed at the following places. The results of the operations have been set to missing values.

Each place is given by: (Number of times) at (Line):(Column).

  1 at 40530:4

. = missing = NA?

R:

>log(0)

[1] -Inf
