Question

When running code, select the example that would most likely result in an exception.

Dividing by zero
Missing parentheses
Missing quotes
Opening a file

Answer 1

Which 2 do you think could be wrong?

Answer 2

Ummm i am thinking C.) and D.) but idk for sure

Answer 3

hm. trying to think of a good way to explain this.

missing parentheses and missing quotes are examples of syntax errors. the code isn't written properly, so it won't run at all.

however, if I set up a program to divide two numbers, but I try dividing by 0, that's an exception, because this mathematical operation is impossible. the code *runs* but it encounters a logical error and thus cannot provide a valid result.

Answer 4

I guess a better way to explain it is that exceptions are errors in the logic of the code, rather than the writing of the code. if you want to create a program that divides two numbers, you simply have to change the logic by adding a line saying that it will not accept 0 as an input for the denominator.

Answer 5

Yes i see so i think that answer is Dividing by zero which makes it a exception

Answer 6

yep
