Groovy Exception handling (try, catch, Exception)

def div(a, b) {
    return a/b
}



if (args.size() < 2) {
    println("You need to pass two numbers")
    System.exit(1)
}


def res = div(args[0] as Integer, args[1] as Integer)
println(res)

It works well if the division work well, but:

$ groovy divide.groovy 3 0

Caught: java.lang.ArithmeticException: Division by zero
java.lang.ArithmeticException: Division by zero
	at divide.div(divide.groovy:2)
	at divide.run(divide.groovy:13)

We can use try and catch to catch the exception:

def div(a, b) {
    return a/b
}



if (args.size() < 2) {
    println("You need to pass two numbers")
    System.exit(1)
}


try {
    def res = div(args[0] as Integer, args[1] as Integer)
    println(res)
} catch(Exception e) {
    println("Exception: ${e}")
}
