Example: ArithmeticException (division by zero)

In this code example, an ArithmeticException is thrown when dividing by 0. Besides the actual error message, a user-defined one is output.

public class TryCatchArithmeticException {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		int dividend = 10;
		int divisor = 0;

		try {
			System.out.println(dividend + " / " + divisor + " = " + dividend / divisor);

		} catch (ArithmeticException e) {
			System.out.println("Division by 0 is not possible");
			System.out.println("Error: " + e);
		}
	}
}

Output

Division by 0 is not possible
Error: java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero
