 “Try Except Exception Handling In Python”

This PROGRAM or TUTORIAL is about “Try Except Exception Handling In Python”

DOC

Before discussing exceptional handling, let us discuss, what an exception is actually.

“Exception can be said as an error, that causes a program to crash. Unlike syntax error, it is syntactically correct and occurs mostly due to our negligence”

For example, assigning a string value to an int data type variable or dividing a number by zero or also when a name of a variable or a function is not found, an exception occurs. Python has built-in support for dealing with many sorts of exceptions automatically, but we can also define our own.

   The solution to exception related problems is simple. We just have to alter the normal flow of the program by a bit of code known as an exception handler. This code will save the state of the program up to the point where the exception occurred and will continue the normal flow from the code written outside the area of occurrence of an exception. We can also print the exception by converting it into a string. This way program does not terminate but executes completely except for the area where the exception occurred.

Now that we have covered the basics, let us move towards an in-depth understanding of exception handling. Try and except blocks are used in Python to handle the exception. If you are familiar with any other programming language, the except block is the same as the catch block. In the try block, we write the code about which we have doubt that exception could occur in it, and in except block we just write the code that we want to execute in case the exception error occurs. In such cases where no exception occurs, the except block will not execute. In simple words, in the try block, we write the code where chances of exception are high, and in except block, we handle the error, maybe through printing a warning or just skipping the exception part completely by completely ignoring it as a part of the program.

We can also use an else keyword to print something if no exception occurs. For example. In case of an exception, the except block is printing the error, likewise, if the exception does not occur, we could print a statement that no error occurred, using an else keyword.

There are also many sorts of predefines exceptions that we could find in Python such as EOF or End of File Error (occurs when the end of a file is reached but the operation is not completed) or ZeroDivisionError (occurs when the number is divided by zero). We can code such expect blocks that catch only specific sort of exception and ignore the rest. For this purpose, we have to specify the error name after the keyword except, before putting the colon.

Advantages of using try and catch:

  • Without a try block if an exception occurs the program will surely crash.
  • If we have some part of code that is not much important but can cause an exception, then we must write it down in the try block so it does not cause the whole program to crash.

CODE

#Try Except Exception Handling



print("Enter Number 1")

num1 = input()

print("Enter Number 2")

num2 = input()

try:

    print("Sum of Num1+Num2 is:", int(num1)+int(num2))



except Exception as e:

    print(e)





print("Important demo line")

Python Tutorial 38 --- "Self & __init__() (Constructors)(OOPS 3)"

 Python Tutorial 38 --- "Self & __init__() (Constructors)(OOPS 3)" Doc --- In this tutorial, we will be discussing methods and constructors in detail. If you are familiar with any other object-oriented programming language, then the concept will be easy for you to grasp. So, let us begin with the Method. Method: A method is just like a function, with a  def  keyword and a single parameter in which the name of the object has to be passed. The purpose of the method is to show all the details related to the object in a single go. We choose variables that we want the method to take but do not have to pass all of them as parameters. Instead, we have to set the parameters we want to include in the method during its creation. Using methods make the process simpler and a lot faster.  Self keyword: The self keyword is used in the method to refer to the instance of the current class we are using. The self keyword is passed as a parameter explicitly every time we define a m...

Python Exercise 4 --- "Number Guessing Game"

  Python Exercise 4: "Number Guessing Game" Q: You have to build a  "Number Guessing Game,"  in which a winning number is set to some integer value. The Program should take input from the user, and if the entered number is less than the winning number, a message should display that the number is smaller and vice versa. Instructions: 1. You are free to use anything we've studied till now. 2. The number of guesses should be limited, i.e (5 or 9). 3. Print the number of guesses left. 4. Print the number of guesses he took to win the game. 5. “Game Over” message should display if the number of guesses becomes equal to 0. You are advised to participate in solving this problem. This task helps you become a good problem solver and helps you accept the challenge and acquire new skills. Solution: print ( "Hii! Welcome, \n " , "This a number guessing game, " "made by Saswata \n " , "Let's Start \n " ) n...

Python Tutorial 13 --- "Short Hand If Else Notation In Python"

 Python Tutorial 13 --- "Short Hand If Else Notation In Python" This PROGRAM or TUTORIAL about Python's  "Short Hand If Else Notation In Python" DOC Before going through the if-else short-hand statement, we must be familiar with the basic definition, so we know what the short-hand statement actually is. In basic English, shorthand can be said as “a basic way of writing using abbreviations or symbols”. For example, we do not use the full name, Kentucky Fried Chicken, instead we use its abbreviation that is KFC. Writing in such a compact manner is known as shorthand. Now let us move towards the definition of shorthand with respect to the Python language. “An executable statement, written in so compact manner that it comprises of only a single line of code is known as shorthand statement.” Python supports many sorts of shorthand statements and with the help of these statements, we can write our code in a more compact sort or form using less space. We learned the or...
