# Hints
|
|
|
|
## General
|
|
|
|
- Read about [errors][getting-started-errors] in the Getting Started guide.
|
|
- Read about [`defexception`][defexception] in the documentation.
|
|
- Read about the [`Exception` behaviour][exception-behaviour] in the documentation.
|
|
- Read the code snippets from the introduction.
|
|
|
|
## 1. Error for Division by Zero
|
|
|
|
- Implement the module, specifying the message using a special [built-in macro for defining exceptions][defexception].
|
|
- Modules can be nested inside of other modules.
|
|
|
|
## 2. Error when encountering stack underflow
|
|
|
|
- Implement the module, specifying the message using a special [built-in macro for defining exceptions][defexception].
|
|
- You can use one of the Exception Behaviour callbacks to define an exception whose message changes based on the arguments passed to `raise/2`.
|
|
- Modules can be nested inside of other modules.
|
|
|
|
## 3. Write a dividing function
|
|
|
|
- Write a multi-clause function using guards for control-flow.
|
|
- You can pattern match in the function argument list to bind the stack's values to variables.
