If I write a formula in the form of x/y, and y turns out to be 0, how does Bullscript deal with situations like this?

It evaluates to a special number, undefined.

This is so you can create formulas such as C/(H-L) without worrying about errors. The resulting plot will skip over any undefined points. ie, it will connect a line from the day before to the day after.
