What is ArithmeticException?

Rating:

ArithmeticException is a runtime exception that is thrown when an exceptional arithmetic condition such as an integer division by zero occurs. ArithmeticException is a subclass of the java.lang.RuntimeException class. When a code detects an integer division by zero, it creates an instance of the ArithmeticException class and passes it to the Java Virtual Machine. This operation is called throwing an ArithmeticException.

Note: Both the arithmetic division and modulus operators may throw an exception of type ArithmeticException. Floating-point division by zero does not cause this exception.
