INTRODUCTION
Exception handling is a fundamental concept in Python programming that
enables developers to manage errors gracefully. It allows programs to continue
running even when unexpected situations arise, enhancing robustness and
improving user experience. This presentation will cover the essential aspects of
exception handling, including syntax and best practices.
Understanding Exceptions and Errors
