Division by Zero Error Handling

User's Concerns Analysis

The user has flagged an issue with the provided code snippet, specifically highlighting that it raises an error when dividing by zero. They have requested assistance in rectifying this issue.

Code Inspection

The code attempts to perform division by zero within a try-except block. However, the current implementation raises an exception as intended but could benefit from a more informative error message.

Code Rectification

The division by zero error can be addressed by capturing the exception and providing a custom error message for clarity. Additionally, the logic can be improved to handle the division error more gracefully.

Corrected Code with Comments

Original Code

def divide_by_zero():
    try:
        result = 10 / 0
    except ZeroDivisionError as e:
        print("Error:", e)
        raise

divide_by_zero()

Corrected Code

def divide_by_zero():
    try:
        result = 10 / 0
    except ZeroDivisionError:
        print("Division by zero is not allowed.")
        # Add handling logic here if necessary

divide_by_zero()

Comments

1. Issue Addressed: Improved error message when division by zero occurs.
2. Correction Rationale: Removed printing the exception itself for a more informative message.
3. Impact: Enhances code readability and user understanding in case of a division error.
