I have done an exercise to write a program that prompts a user to enter two numbers. The program should divide one number by another. Use a try-catch block to prevent the user from dividing by zero.
When I debug this code it does not return an answer when the method is called (e.g 8/2)
namespace classProgram
{
class myClass
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//create a new myClass object
myClass party = new myClass();
Console.WriteLine("Please enter a number");
int num1 = Int32.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
Console.WriteLine("Please enter a second number");
int num2 = Int32.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
Console.ReadLine();
//this is where an error is most likely to occur
try
{
num2 = 0;
party.DivideNum(num1,num2); //please explain why my program does not return a result?
}
//specific exception to be caught
catch (DivideByZeroException e)
{
Console.WriteLine("{0} You cannot divide by zero", e);
}
//least specific exception
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine("{0} second exception caught:",e);
}
}
public int DivideNum( int x,int y)
{
if (y==0)
{
throw new Exception();
}
else
{
return x/y; //WHY DOES THE CODE NOT RETURN AN ANSWER WHEN I DEBUG?
}
}
}
}
