10.10 LAB: Simple integer division - multiple exception handlers

Question

Write a program that reads integers user_num and div_num as input, and output the quotient (user_num divided by div_num). Use a try block to perform all the statements. Use an except block to catch any ZeroDivisionError and output an exception message. Use another except block to catch any ValueError caused by invalid input and output an exception message.

Note: ZeroDivisionError is thrown when a division by zero happens. ValueError is thrown when a user enters a value of different data type than what is defined in the program. Do not include code to throw any exception in the program.

Ex: If the input of the program is:

15

3

the output of the program is:

5

Answer 1

This should be encapsulated into a function for testing and reusability

user_num = input("Enter the top number to be divided, the dividend") # this will need to be converted to an int or float

div_num = input("Enter the bottom number, the divisor") # this will need to be converted to an int or float

try:

quotient = user_num/div_num

except ValueError as v_error:

print("Error with the input")# This should be more descriptive that the types are different

except ZeroDivisionError:

print("Error with the division")# This should be more descriptive that there is a division issue with 0s
