Question

Python 3.7+. Any better way to write this code? This is a method from my Student class:

# method to calculate GPA
def gpa(self):

try:
    return self.qpoints/self.credits
except ZeroDivisionError :
    return 0

I'd rather not use try/except, and I would also rather not use ZeroDivisionError. Is there a better way to write this? Maybe an if/else statement?

Answer 1

# method to calculate GPA
def gpa(self):
    if self.credits==0:
        return 0
    else:
        return self.qpoints/self.credits
