Attempted division using zero, causing runtime errors or crashes.
result = a / 0; in languages such as Java, Python, or C++ will cause immediate failures. Such errors commonly occur due to insufficient validation of user input or unexpected states in program logic. Identifying and handling these situations proactively ensures software stability.if (denominator != 0) before executing a division, especially in languages such as Java, Python, or C++. Additionally, implement structured exception handling (try-catch blocks or similar mechanisms) to gracefully handle any unexpected division scenarios. Writing comprehensive tests targeting edge cases involving zero helps catch potential problems during development. By carefully validating inputs and handling exceptions, developers can prevent divide by zero errors and enhance software resilience.
