Overview

Raised when attempting to divide an integer by 0.

42 / 0
#=> ZeroDivisionError: divided by 0

Note that only division by an exact 0 will raise the exception:

42 /  0.0 #=> Float::INFINITY
42 / -0.0 #=> -Float::INFINITY
0  /  0.0 #=> NaN

.exception	With no argument, or if the argument is the same as the receiver, return the receiver.
.new	Construct a new ::Exception object, optionally passing in a message.

#==	Equality—If obj is not an ::Exception, returns `false`.
#backtrace	Returns any backtrace associated with the exception.
#backtrace_locations	Returns any backtrace associated with the exception.
#cause	Returns the previous exception ($!) at the time this exception was raised.
#exception	With no argument, or if the argument is the same as the receiver, return the receiver.
#inspect	Return this exception's class name and message.
#message	Returns the result of invoking `exception.to_s`.
#set_backtrace	Sets the backtrace information associated with `exc`.
#to_s	Returns exception's message (or the name of the exception if no message is set).
