Handling errors

In Python, errors can be handled using the try and except statements, which allow you to catch and handle exceptions that may be raised during the execution of your code.

The basic syntax of a try/except block is as follows:

Here's a brief overview of what each part of this block does:

• The try block contains the code that may raise an exception.
• The except blocks are used to handle specific types of exceptions that may be raised in the try block. You can have multiple except blocks to handle different types of exceptions, and you can also use a single except block with no specific exception type to catch all exceptions.
• The else block contains code that is executed if no exceptions were raised in the try block. This block is optional.
• The finally block contains code that is always executed, regardless of whether an exception was raised or not. This block is also optional.

Here's an example of how you can use a try/except block to handle a ZeroDivisionError exception that may be raised when dividing two numbers:

In this example, the try block contains the code that may raise a ZeroDivisionError exception. The except block catches this exception and prints an error message.

You can also use the else block to execute code if no exceptions were raised:

In this example, the else block prints the result of the division if no ZeroDivisionError exception was raised.

Finally, you can use the finally block to execute code that must be executed regardless of whether an exception was raised or not:

In this example, the finally block prints a message indicating that it is always executed, regardless of whether a ZeroDivisionError exception was raised or not.
