I am struggling with creation of a to calculate fractions and return in an array[3]. So if nominator is 7 and denominator is 3 it should return {2,1,3}, a fraction part and a integer part. If denominator is 0, the integer division should not be executed and I have to return null (not print it). That is what I am struggling with. My code is below:
public class Main{ public static int[] fraction(int nominator, int denominator){ int quota=0; int numerator=0; try{ quota = nominator / denominator; numerator = nominator % denominator; } catch(java.lang.ArithmeticException e) { if(denominator==0) { quota =0; numerator=0; } } int [] integerArray ={quota, numerator,denominator}; return integerArray; } }

Answer
As mentioned in the comments, you can just return early once you checked the denominator is 0.
public static int[] fraction(int nominator, int denominator){ if (denominator == 0){ return null } int quota = nominator / denominator; int numerator = nominator % denominator; int [] integerArray = {quota, numerator,denominator}; return integerArray; }
