EXPECTED OUTPUT FOR THE SAMPLE
Cannot divide by zero
PROGRAM EXPLANATION
Algorithm and explanation
- Initialize the sample values used to handle division by zero.
- Execute the operation safely with try and except.
- Display the result for handle division by zero and compare it with the documented sample output.
This example of handle division by zero protects the operation with explicit exception handling. It demonstrates try, except, and ZeroDivisionError and prints a deterministic result that can be checked against the sample output.

DEBUGGING CHECKLIST
Common mistakes
For handle division by zero, keep the data shape and value types consistent with try.
Keep every dependent statement inside the correct indented Python block.
Check denominators, numeric ranges and rounding before comparing the calculated value.
