Exceptions
Errors detected during execution are called exceptions.
Examples:
ZeroDivisionError
This error is raised when the second argument of a division or modulo operation is zero.
>>> a = '1'
>>> b = '0'
>>> print int(a) / int(b)
>>> ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero
ValueError
This error is raised when a built-in operation or function receives an argument that has the right type but an inappropriate value.
>>> a = '1'
>>> b = '#'
>>> print int(a) / int(b)
>>> ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '#'

Handling Exceptions
The statements try and except can be used to handle selected exceptions. A try statement may have more than one except clause to specify handlers for different exceptions.
#Code
try:
print 1/0
except ZeroDivisionError as e:
print "Error Code:",e
Output
Error Code: integer division or modulo by zero
Task
You are given two values a and b.
Perform integer division and print a/b.
Input Format
The first line contains T, the number of test cases.
The next T lines each contain the space separated values of a and b.
Constraints
- 0 < T < 10
Output Format
Print the value of a/b.
In the case of ZeroDivisionError or ValueError, print the error code.
Sample Input
3
1 0
2 $
3 1
Sample Output
Error Code: integer division or modulo by zero
Error Code: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '$'
