What is a stack trace and how to use it for debugging errors in Java?
Hello everyone! I'm a beginner in Java and often encounter errors that output huge red texts in the console. I know this is called a "stack trace", but honestly, I don't fully understand how to read it and how it can help me fix errors.
For example, I have a simple code:
```java
public class Calculator {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int result = divide(10, 0);
System.out.println("Result: " + result);
}
public static int divide(int a, int b) {
return a / b;
}
}
```
When I run it, I get this message:
```
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero
at Calculator.divide(Calculator.java:7)
at Calculator.main(Calculator.java:3)
```
