Chapter 6.4, Problem 22CP
Program Plan Intro
Exception:
- • An exception is an error which occurs during a
program execution. - • The program execution stops abruptly when an exception occurs in the program.
- • To handle exceptions in the python programs, the “try/except” statements are used.
Exception handler:
The purpose of “exception handler” is to handle the errors occurring in the “try” suite.
“try” suite:
The “try” suite starts with the keyword “try”, and it is placed in the code which has the possibility to generate an exception.
- • The exception is caught in the “try” suite.
- • If an error is recognized in the “try” suite, the execution of the program is stopped immediately.
- • In python, “try” suite is represented with the keyword “try”, followed by colon.
“except” clause:
- • In python, “except” clause starts with the keyword “except”, followed by “Exception_Name”.
- • The exceptions raised in the “try” suite are handled in “except” clause.
- • In a program, “except” clause is used after the “try” suite.
