How do I use a raise function on python

import math

def divider(number1, number2):
  if number1 <= 0:
    raise ZeroDivisionError("Has to be more than zero")
  return number1 / number2

try:
  firstQ = float(input("Input 1: \n"))
  secondQ = float(input("Input 2: \n"))
except ValueError as err:
  print("ERROR")
else:
  answer = divider(firstQ, secondQ)
  answer = math.ceil(answer)

print("The answer for {} divided by {} is {}!"  .format(firstQ, secondQ, answer))

You are raising it correctly. However, if you would like to actually catch the exception, you would need to put the call to divider within the try: block.
