# EXC_ARITHMETIC

An arithmetic problem terminated the process, often because of division by zero or a floating-point error.

## Overview

Overview Depending on the language and CPU architecture, division by zero and floating-point errors can also produce other exceptions. For example, the Swift standard library’s numeric types detect division by zero and produce a fatal error (SIGTRAP or SIGILL). Because division by zero in C is undefined behavior, it might produce an incorrect result instead of an error.
