		int num1,num2,num3;
		num1=20;
		num2=0;
		try{
			num3=num1/num2;
			System.out.println("Result is "+num3);
		}catch(ArithmeticException ae){
				System.out.println("Numbers cannot be divided by zero");
			}
	num3=num1+num2;
	System.out.println("Result after addition is "+num3);
	}
}	

Sample Output
