How to restarting code that caused exception?

Question

Hello all,
Suppose we have handled an exception in a catch block. Is there anyway we can restart the line that caused the exception?
For example:
try {
System.out.println("here"); // this line should be executed only once
a = b / c // we want to execute this line again if an exception occurs
catch(Exception e) {
c = 0.01;
// OK, we have now corrected the problem (division by 0). How can we
// restart the offending line (a = b / c) in the try block?
Thanks for any help!

You can put the offending portion of code in its own block:System.out.println("here");
try {
         a = b / c // we want to execute this line again if an exception occurs
catch(Exception e) {
    a = b / 0.01;
System.out.println("and here");And possibly eliminate the try-catch mechanism completely:System.out.println("here");
c = (c == 0) ? 0.01 : c;
a = b / c;
System.out.println("and here");
