class X::Numeric::DivideByZero

Error while trying to divide by zero

class X::Numeric::DivideByZero is Exception { }

Occurs when attempting to divide by zero.

For example:

say 1 / 0;
CATCH { default { put .^name, ': ', .Str } };
# OUTPUT: «X::Numeric::DivideByZero: Attempt to divide by zero when coercing Rational to Str␤»

Note that the error is only thrown when you attempt to do something with the result. A simple

1/0; # no Error

will only generate a silent Failure. It's the say in the first example that triggers the exception.
