         result = 0;
      }
      public void myDivision(int num1, int num2) {
         try {
            result = num1 / num2;
         } catch (DivideByZeroException e) {
            Console.WriteLine("Exception Caught: {0}", e);
         } finally {
            Console.WriteLine("Result: {0}", result);
         }
      }

      static void Main(string[] args) {
         DivNumbers d = new DivNumbers();
         d.myDivision(5, 0);
         Console.ReadKey();
      }
   }
