## Summary
With this PR, we emit a diagnostic for this case where
previously didn't:
```py
from typing import Literal
def f(m: int, n: Literal[-1, 0, 1]):
# error: [division-by-zero] "Cannot divide object of type `int` by zero"
return m / n
```

Binary operations on union types
Binary operations on union types are only available if they are supported for all possible combinations of types:
def f1(i: int, u: int | None):
# error: [unsupported-operator] "Operator `+` is unsupported between objects of type `int` and `int | None`"
reveal_type(i + u) # revealed: Unknown
# error: [unsupported-operator] "Operator `+` is unsupported between objects of type `int | None` and `int`"
reveal_type(u + i) # revealed: Unknown
int can be added to int, and str can be added to str, but expressions of type int | str
cannot be added, because that would require addition of int and str or vice versa:
def f2(i: int, s: str, int_or_str: int | str):
i + i
s + s
# error: [unsupported-operator] "Operator `+` is unsupported between objects of type `int | str` and `int | str`"
reveal_type(int_or_str + int_or_str) # revealed: Unknown
However, if an operation is supported for all possible combinations, the result will be a union of the possible outcomes:
from typing import Literal
def f3(two_or_three: Literal[2, 3], a_or_b: Literal["a", "b"]):
reveal_type(two_or_three + two_or_three) # revealed: Literal[4, 5, 6]
reveal_type(two_or_three**two_or_three) # revealed: Literal[4, 8, 9, 27]
reveal_type(a_or_b + a_or_b) # revealed: Literal["aa", "ab", "ba", "bb"]
reveal_type(two_or_three * a_or_b) # revealed: Literal["aa", "bb", "aaa", "bbb"]
We treat a type annotation of float as a union of int and float, so union handling is relevant
here:
def f4(x: float, y: float):
reveal_type(x + y) # revealed: int | float
reveal_type(x - y) # revealed: int | float
reveal_type(x * y) # revealed: int | float
reveal_type(x / y) # revealed: int | float
reveal_type(x // y) # revealed: int | float
reveal_type(x % y) # revealed: int | float
If any of the union elements leads to a division by zero, we will report an error:
def f5(m: int, n: Literal[-1, 0, 1]):
# error: [division-by-zero] "Cannot divide object of type `int` by zero"
return m / n
