Python

Write your own unique Python program that has a runtime error. Do not copy the program from your textbook or the Internet. Provide the following.

• Output demonstrating the runtime error, including the error message.
• An explanation of the error message.
• An explanation of how to fix the error.

Answer 1

Code:
-------
a = int(input("Enter numerator: "))
b = int(input("Enter denominator: "))
print("Division:",(a/b))


Output:
----------
Enter numerator: 5
Enter denominator: 0
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/PyCharm/HelloWorld.py", line 3, in <module>
    print("Division:",(a//b))
ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero


An explanation of the error message:
----------------------------------------
Error throws ZeroDivisionError when the denominator is zero

An explanation of how to fix the error:
----------------------------------------
We can add a check for denominator. If denominator is zero then print a message or ask for denominator again from user.

FIX:
-------
a = int(input("Enter numerator: "))
b = int(input("Enter denominator: "))
while(b==0):
    b = int(input("Denominator should not be zero. Please enter again: "))
print("Division:",(a/b))


Output:
---------
Enter numerator: 5
Enter denominator: 0
Denominator should not be zero. Please enter again: 2
Division: 2.5
