Java program to handle Arithmetic Exception

Java example to handle Arithmetic Exception.
Submitted by Nidhi, on April 17, 2022

Problem statement

In this program, we will handle an Arithmetic Exception using the try, catch block. The code that may generate an exception should be written in the "try" block, and the "catch" block is used to handle the exception and prevent program crashes.

Source Code

The source code to handle Arithmetic Exceptions is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

// Java program to handle Arithmetic Exception

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
      int a = 10;
      int b = 0;
      int c = 0;

      c = a / b;

      System.out.println("Division is: " + c);
    } catch (ArithmeticException e) {
      System.out.println("Exception: " + e);
    }

    System.out.println("Program Finished");
  }
}

Output

Exception: java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero
Program Finished

Explanation

In the above program, we created a class Main. The Main class contains a main() method. The main() method is the entry point for the program. Here, we created "try" and "catch" blocks. In the "try" block, the Arithmetic exception gets generated because we divided an integer number by zero.

Here, we handled generated exceptions using the "catch" block and printed exception message.
