How to handle ‘ZeroDivisionError’ in Python?

Yesterday I programmed a simple calculator(link in below) but when I divide a number (integer/float) by zero, it gives an error, please help me handle that. Thanks https://code.sololearn.com/cDlTPy8oRYKo/?ref=app

Well, devision by zero is undefined... But if you want to look at it as a limit, where division by zero "is" infinity, you could use a try/except: try: result = num_1 / num_2 except ZeroDivisionError: result = "inf"

Forgot to mention the case when num_1 is negative. Then it should be -inf of course 😅
