What is the use of a raise statement? Write a code to accept two numbers and display the quotient. Appropriate exception should be raised if the user enters the second number (denominator) as zero (0).

The raise statement is used to throw an exception during the execution of a program.

numerator = float(input("Enter the numerator: "))
denominator = float(input("Enter the denominator: "))
if denominator == 0:
    raise ZeroDivisionError("Error: Denominator cannot be zero.")
else: 
    quotient = numerator / denominator
    print("Quotient:", quotient)

Output

Enter the numerator: 25
Enter the denominator: 5
Quotient: 5.0

Enter the numerator: 2
Enter the denominator: 0
