Python Lab Program 8

The document describes a Python function named DivExp that performs division while ensuring the numerator is positive and the denominator is not zero. It includes user input handling and exception management for invalid cases. The function raises a ValueError for a zero denominator and an AssertionError for a non-positive numerator.

LAB-8

Write a function named DivExp which takes TWO parameters a, b and returns
a value c (c=a/b). Write suitable assertion for a>0 in function DivExp and raise
an exception for when b=0. Develop a suitable program which reads two values
from the console and calls a function DivExp.
def DivExp(a, b):
if b == 0:
raise ValueError("Denominator cannot be zero")
assert a > 0, "Numerator must be positive"
return a / b

# Take user input


a = float(input("Enter the numerator: "))
b = float(input("Enter the denominator: "))

# Try to divide and handle exceptions


try:
result = DivExp(a, b)
print(f"The result of the division is {result}")
except ValueError as e:
print(e)

Algorithm:
1. Start
2. Define the function DivExp(a, b):

• If b (denominator) is 0:
• Raise a ValueError with the message "Denominator cannot be zero."

• If a (numerator) is less than or equal to 0:

• Raise an AssertionError with the message "Numerator must be


positive."
• Otherwise, return the result of a / b.

3. Take input from the user:


• Prompt the user to enter the numerator.
• Convert the input into a floating-point number and store it in a.

• Prompt the user to enter the denominator.


• Convert the input into a floating-point number and store it in b.

4. Perform division inside a try-except block:


• Try to:
• Call the DivExp(a, b) function.

• Store the returned result.


• Print the result of the division.
• If a ValueError is raised:

• Print the error message.


5. End

Output:
enter the numerator:5
enter the denominator:3
the result of the division is1.6666666666666667

enter the numerator: 7


enter the denominator:0
Denominator cannot be zero
