Java ArithmeticException

The ArithmeticException occurs when an arithmetic operation yields an error.

Example

The ArithmeticException is thrown in the following example because it divides an integer by zero:

public class DivideByZero {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    int x = 9/0;
  }
}
