Catch ZeroDivisionError exception

For that, we'll wrap the critical part of the code in a "try" block. After the "try" block we need to provide a list of exception that are caught by this try-block.
You could say something like "Try this code and let all the exceptions propagate, except of the ones I listed".

As we saw in the previous example, the specific error is called ZeroDivisionError.

If the specified exception occurs within the try: block, instead of the script ending, only the try block end and the except: block is executed.


examples/exceptions/divide_by_zero_catch.py
import sys

def div(a, b):
    print("dividing {} by {} is {}".format(a, b, a/b))

total = 100
values = [2, 5, 0, 4]

for val in values:
    try:
        div(total, val)
    except ZeroDivisionError:
        print("Cannot divide by 0", file=sys.stderr)

# dividing 100 by 2 is 50.0
# dividing 100 by 5 is 20.0
# Cannot divide by 0
# dividing 100 by 4 is 25.0
