Explanation

In the above program, here we created a module Module1. In Module1 we created the class MyException, here we inherit the Exception class and override the Message property in the MyException class.

The Main() is the entry point for the program, here we created three variable num1, num2, and num3 that are initialized with 10,0,0. Here, we checked the value of num2 if it is 0 then thrown the object of MyException class, which is caught in the catch block, and print the appropriate message on the console screen.
