ArithmeticError Error¶
ArithmeticError is thrown when an error occurs while performing mathematical operations. These errors include attempting to perform a bitshift by a negative amount, and any call to intdiv() that would result in a value outside the possible bounds of an int.
Currently, a bitshift is the main source for arithmetic exceptions. The other is division by zero, which is a child class.
<?php
// ArithmeticError is catchable
try {
8 >> -1;
} catch (ArgumentCountError) {
print 'Cannot do a negative shift';
}
?>
