easy Error Handling

Robust Division Calculator

The Brief

Build a small calculator that divides two numbers entered by the user. The program must handle non-numeric input (ValueError) and division by zero (ZeroDivisionError) gracefully. Use a single try block that catches multiple exception types separately so each gets its own friendly message.
