ArithmeticException:

The following program demonstrates exception handling. If zero is supplied for the second argument through command line, the code attempts to divide the first value with zero which raises a runtime error. But, as we have used exception handling mechanism here with appropriate catch block, the exception will be caught and the program will not be abruptly terminated.

class Test

{

            public static void main(String as[])

            {

                        int a=Integer.parseInt(as[0]);

                        int b=Integer.parseInt(as[1]);

                        try

                        {

                            System.out.println(“Division=”+ (a/b));

                        }

                        catch(ArithmeticException e)

                        {

                        System.out.println("Please check the Denominator”);

                        System.out.println(e);

                        }

            }

}

The above program produces the following output.

Output 1:  (No Exception)

D:\java>java Test 6 2
Division =3 

Output 2: (With Exception)

D:\java>java Test 6 0
Please check the Denominator

java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero
