[erlang-questions] Division by Zero

[James Rosenblum]

Valentin's very perceptive comment aside, you could use one of the two error handling mechanisms as in:


case catch A/N of
{'EXIT', {badarith,_}} ->
    io:format("Some error statement or whatever!~n",[]);
Normal -> Normal
    end.

or

try A/N 
    catch
error:badarith ->
    io:format("some statement or whatever ~p/~p~n",[A,N]);
Normal -> Normal
    end.

I'm not positive, but it seems like you might not be aware of these error handling mechanisms

Did you consider not dividing  by zero?
