Line 2:
A few programs would attempt to divide by zero if the 2nd argument is 0 (zero).
<br> In that special case, the absolute value of the first argument should be returned. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 15:39, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

::: The special case of '''gcd(0,0)''' is usually defined to be '''0''', but some authors consider it to be '''undefined'''. When implementing the REXX version 1 example, the first definition (0) was chosen. So, for that case, '''|0| = 0'''. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 15:39, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
