How to solve the delay in the calculated fields?

The attached file is part of my fillable PDF.

I am wondering why there is a delay in the computation of cell F4 and the computation of the Score.

Cell F4 should show 10, and the Score should show 100.

I don’t know if this script has something to do with this issue.

if(this.getField("F04001b").value)

{event.value=this.getField("F04001b").value / this.getField("F04001a").value};

This script is used to solve the mathematical computation of numbers by zero.

Can someone point out my mistake and how I can fix this problem, please? Thanks.

You also need to change your if-statement so that it checks whether the value of "F04001a" is zero (or blank), not that of "F04001b". The latter will result in zero. The former will result in Infinity (as division by zero is not allowed), which will cause an error if the field has the Number format selected.
