java.lang.ArithmeticException Class Example

public class ArithmeticExceptionExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            int numerator = 10;
            // This will cause division by zero
            int denominator = 0; 

            // This line will throw ArithmeticException
            int result = numerator / denominator;

            System.out.println("Result: " + result);
        } catch (ArithmeticException e) {
            // Handle the exception
            System.out.println("Error: Cannot divide by zero!");
        } finally {
            System.out.println("Execution completed.");
        }
    }
}

Output:

Error: Cannot divide by zero!
Execution completed.
