Exception when working with numbers

Locked

Esteemed colleagues, things are getting serious. We're starting sting operation to catch exceptions. The secret CodeGym center has sent the following task, and I quote: "Catch (and display the type of) the exception that occurs when the following code is executed: int a = 42 / 0;". Note: Complete this task immediately.

You can't complete this task, because you're not signed in.

Hint: run the code one time and it will tell you what type of error you need to account for.

I'm not fulfilling the objective, "The displayed message must contain the type of exception that occurred." I can't imagine any other way this should be done than by calling getMessage() on the Arithmetic Exception reference in my catch code block. All other objectives are checked green when I verify. Thanks to anyone out there!
