What type of exception is thrown if the user enters a 0 for the divisor?
An ArithmeticException
.
Here is a part of the program:
public static void main ( String[] a ) throws IOException { try { System.out.println("Enter the numerator:"); . . . . System.out.println("Enter the divisor:"); . . . . System.out.println( num + " / " + div + " is " + (num/div) ); } catch (NumberFormatException ex ) { System.out.println("You entered bad data." ); System.out.println("Run the program again." ); } catch (ArithmeticException ex ) { System.out.println("You can't divide " + num + " by " + div); }
Here is some sample output:
C:>java DivisionPractice Enter the numerator: Rats You entered bad data. Run the program again. C:>java DivisionPractice Enter the numerator: 12 Enter the divisor: 6 12 / 6 is 2 C:>java DivisionPractice Enter the numerator: 12 Enter the divisor: 0 You can't divide 12 by 0
