Safe Division with Exception Handling

Dividing numbers is a common operation in programming, but attempting to divide by zero will cause your program to fail. To prevent this, you need to check for zero before performing the division and use exceptions to handle the error gracefully.

Your task:

  • Write a function that divides two integers;
  • If the denominator is zero, throw an exception instead of dividing;
  • Use exception handling to signal the error and keep your code safe.

This approach ensures your program remains stable and communicates errors clearly when an invalid operation is attempted.

Task

Swipe to start coding

You are required to create a function that performs division between two integers in a safe way. If the denominator is zero, your function must not attempt the division. Instead, you should signal an error by throwing an exception. This approach helps prevent crashes and makes your code more reliable. Use exception handling to manage this case and provide a clear error message when division by zero is attempted.
