Exception Handling Intro

Exception handling in Python allows for graceful management of runtime errors without crashing the program. An exception disrupts the normal flow of execution and can include types like ZeroDivisionError, TypeError, and FileNotFoundError. The basic syntax involves using 'try' to execute code that may raise an exception and 'except' to handle specific exceptions.

1. What is Exception Handling?

 Definition:
Exception handling in Python is a mechanism that allows you to handle
runtime errors (exceptions) gracefully without stopping the entire program.

 Purpose:
To prevent the program from crashing when an unexpected event (error)
occurs.

2. What is an Exception?

An exception is an event that occurs during the execution of a program and


disrupts the normal flow of instructions.

Common Examples:

Exception TypeDescription

ZeroDivisionErrorDivision by zero

TypeError Operation on an inappropriate type

ValueError Invalid value used

FileNotFoundError
File not found on disk

IndexError Index out of range in a list

KeyError Key not found in a dictionary


Exception TypeDescription

NameError Variable not defined

ImportError Module not found or cannot be imported

3. Basic Syntax

try:

# Code that may raise an exception

except ExceptionType:

# Code to handle that exception

Example:

try:

x = 10 / 0

except ZeroDivisionError:

print("You cannot divide by zero!")

Output:
