Python Playground

# Triggering and catching ArithmeticError

    print(f"Caught ArithmeticError: {e}")
    print(f"Type: {type(e).__name__}")

Output

Click "Run" to execute your code

ArithmeticError is raised when base class for arithmetic errors (zerodivisionerror, overflowerror, etc.). Always catch specific exceptions rather than bare except clauses.

Challenge

Try modifying the code above to explore different behaviors. Can you extend the example to handle a new use case?
