Displaying a Description of an Exception

You can display exception description message in a println( ) statement.

For example, the catch block can be written like this:

 
import java.util.Random;

public class Main {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    int a = 0, b = 0, c = 0;
    Random r = new Random();
    for (int i = 0; i < 32000; i++) {
      try {
        b = r.nextInt();
        c = r.nextInt();
        a = 12345 / (b / c);
      } catch (ArithmeticException e) {
        System.out.println("Exception: " + e); 
        a = 0; // set a to zero and continue
      }
      System.out.println("a: " + a);
    }
  }
}
