Answer 1

def magic_index(arr):
    try:
        return max(arr)/min(arr)
    except ZeroDivisionError:
        return 'error occurred = ZeroDivisionError'
    except TypeError:
        return 'error occurred = TypeError'
    except ValueError:
        return 'error occurred = ValueError'

arr = [2, 3, 5.5]

print(magic_index(arr))
