signal SIGFPE, Arithmetic exception

The signal SIGFPE is a signal that is raised when an arithmetic exception occurs, such as division by zero, overflow, or underflow. When this signal is raised, the program is terminated immediately.

This signal can occur in various programming languages, including C, C++, Java, and Python. It is important to handle this signal properly in order to prevent unexpected program termination and to provide appropriate error messages to the user.

To handle this signal in C, you can use the signal() function to register a signal handler that will be called when the signal is raised. In the signal handler, you can perform any necessary cleanup and error handling before exiting the program gracefully.

In other programming languages, there may be different ways to handle this signal. For example, in Java, you can use try-catch blocks to catch arithmetic exceptions and handle them appropriately.
