ZeroDivisionError: float division by zero

i have suggession to add '+ 0.0001' to line of division or try catch and add 0.0001 which will give correct ans rather than error:

        self._d1_ = (log(self.underlyingPrice / self.strikePrice) + \
                (self.interestRate - self.dividendYield + \
                (self.volatility**2) / 2) * self.daysToExpiration) / \
                self._a_ + 0.0001

I think On Expiry day the no. of days will be 1 cause we will have that trading day.....

sathyarajshetigar commented 1 year ago

Which is correct answer? adding + 0.0001 or 1

sidnet033 commented 1 year ago

what do we do on expiry day? consider daysLeftToExpiry as 1? or 0.0001?

if 0.0001, why this specific figure? why not 0.1 or 0.001?
