+## Running the tests
+
+From the terminal, change to the base directory of the exercise then execute the tests with:
+
+```bash
+$ mix test
+```
+
+This will execute the test file found in the `test` subfolder -- a file ending in `_test.exs`
+
+Documentation:
+
+* [`mix test` - Elixir's test execution tool](https://hexdocs.pm/mix/Mix.Tasks.Test.html)
+* [`ExUnit` - Elixir's unit test library](https://hexdocs.pm/ex_unit/ExUnit.html)
+
+## Pending tests
+
+In test suites of practice exercises, all but the first test have been tagged to be skipped.
+
+Once you get a test passing, you can unskip the next one by commenting out the relevant `@tag :pending` with a `#` symbol.
+
+For example:
+
+```elixir
+# @tag :pending
+test "shouting" do
+  assert Bob.hey("WATCH OUT!") == "Whoa, chill out!"
+end
+```
+
+If you wish to run all tests at once, you can include all skipped test by using the `--include` flag on the `mix test` command:
+
+```bash
+$ mix test --include pending
+```
+
+Or, you can enable all the tests by commenting out the `ExUnit.configure` line in the file `test/test_helper.exs`.
+
+```elixir
+# ExUnit.configure(exclude: :pending, trace: true)
+```
+
+## Useful `mix test` options
+
+* `test/<FILE>.exs:LINENUM` - runs only a single test, the test from `<FILE>.exs` whose definition is on line `LINENUM`
+* `--failed` - runs only tests that failed the last time they ran
+* `--max-failures` - the suite stops evaluating tests when this number of test failures
+is reached
+* `--seed 0` - disables randomization so the tests in a single file will always be ran
+in the same order they were defined in
+
+## Submitting your solution
+
+You can submit your solution using the `exercism submit lib/rpn_calculator/exception.ex` command.
+This command will upload your solution to the Exercism website and print the solution page's URL.
+
+It's possible to submit an incomplete solution which allows you to:

+# Stack Underflow
+
+Welcome to Stack Underflow on Exercism's Elixir Track.
+If you need help running the tests or submitting your code, check out `HELP.md`.
+If you get stuck on the exercise, check out `HINTS.md`, but try and solve it without using those first :)
+
+## Introduction
+
+## Exceptions
+
+All errors in Elixir implement the _Exception Behaviour_. Just like the _Access Behaviour_, the _Exception Behaviour_ defines callback functions that a module must implement to fulfill the software contract of the behaviour. Once an error is defined, it has the following properties:
+
+- The module's name defines the error's name.
+- The module defines an error-struct.
+- The struct will have a `:message` field.
+- The module can be used with `raise/1` and `raise/2` to raise the intended error
+
+The _Exception Behaviour_ also specifies two callbacks: `message/1` and `exception/1`. If unimplemented, default implementations will be used. `message/1` transforms the error-struct to a readable message when called with `raise`. `exception/1` allows additional context to be added to the message when it is called with `raise/2`
+
+### Defining an exception
+
+To define an exception from an error module, we use the `defexception` macro:
+
+```elixir
+# Defines a minimal error, with the name `MyError`
+defmodule MyError do
+  defexception message: "error"
+end
+
+# Defines an error with a customized exception/1 function
+defmodule MyCustomizedError do
+  defexception message: "custom error"
+
+  @impl true
+  def exception(value) do
+    case value do
+      [] ->
+        %MyCustomizedError{}
+
+      _ ->
+        %MyCustomizedError{message: "Alert: " <> value}
+    end
+  end
+end
+```
+
+### Using exceptions
+
+Defined errors may be used like a built in error using either `raise/1` or `raise/2`.
+
+- `raise/1` raises a specific error by its module name, or, if the argument is a string, it will raise a `RuntimeError` with the string as the message.
+- `raise/2` raises a specific error by its module name, and accepts an attributes argument which is used to obtain the error with the appropriate message.
+
+## Instructions
+
+While continuing your work at _Instruments of Texas_, there is progress being made on the Elixir implementation of the RPN calculator. Your team would like to be able to raise errors that are more specific than the generic errors provided by the standard library. You are doing some research, but you have decided to implement two new errors which implement the _Exception Behaviour_.
+
+## 1. Error for Division by Zero
+
+Dividing a number by zero produces an undefined result, which the team decides is best represented by an error.
+
+Implement the `DivisionByZeroError` module to have the error message: `"division by zero occurred"`
+
+```elixir
+raise DivisionByZeroError
+# => ** (DivisionByZeroError) division by zero occurred
+```
+
+## 2. Error when encountering stack underflow
+
+RPN calculators use a _stack_ to keep track of numbers before they are added. The team represents this _stack_ with a list of numbers (integer and floating-point), e.g.: `[3, 4.0]`. Each operation needs a specific number of numbers on the stack in order to perform its calculation. When there are not enough numbers on the stack, this is called a stack underflow error. Implement the `StackUnderflowError` exception which provides a default message, and optional extra context
+
+```elixir
+raise StackUnderflowError
+# => ** (StackUnderflowError) stack underflow occurred
+
+raise StackUnderflowError, "when dividing"
+# => ** (StackUnderflowError) stack underflow occurred, context: when dividing
+```
+
+## 3. Write a dividing function
+
+Implement the `divide/1` function which takes a stack _(a list of two numbers)_ and:
+
+- raises _stack underflow_ when the stack does not contain enough numbers
+- raises _division by zero_ when the divisor is 0 (note the stack of numbers is stored in the reverse order)
+- performs the division when no errors are raised
+
+```elixir
+RPNCalculator.Exception.divide([])
+# => ** (StackUnderflowError) stack underflow occurred, context: when dividing
+
+RPNCalculator.Exception.divide([0, 100])
+# => ** (DivisionByZeroError) division by zero occurred
+
+RPNCalculator.Exception.divide([4, 16])
+# => 4
+```
+
+> Note the order of the list is reversed!
