Introduction to ZeroDivisionError:

ZeroDivisionError is a common error encountered in programming when attempting to divide a number by zero. In mathematics, division by zero is undefined, leading to an error in programming languages that do not handle this case explicitly.

Causes of ZeroDivisionError:

1. Explicit Division by Zero: When a program contains an operation that divides a number by zero, ZeroDivisionError occurs. This can happen when performing arithmetic calculations or when evaluating mathematical expressions.

2. Conditional Logic: Dividing by a variable that may have a value of zero without proper validation or handling can lead to ZeroDivisionError.

3. User Input: Division operations involving user input values may result in ZeroDivisionError if the user provides a zero as the divisor without appropriate validation.

Example of ZeroDivisionError:

In this example, attempting to divide the number 10 by zero will result in ZeroDivisionError because division by zero is not allowed.

Solutions to ZeroDivisionError:

1. Conditional Checking: Before performing division, check if the divisor is zero. If it is, handle the special case separately to prevent ZeroDivisionError.

   python

• divisor = 0
if divisor != 0:
result = 10 / divisor
else:
print("Cannot divide by zero.")


• Exception Handling: Implement try-except blocks to catch ZeroDivisionError and handle it gracefully, providing a meaningful error message to users.
