Exceptions
Explore how Python manages exceptions to maintain robust program execution. Learn about common error types such as SyntaxError, RuntimeError, and ZeroDivisionError. Understand how exceptions interrupt statement flow and how to handle interface-related issues and external disruptions effectively.
We'll cover the following...
Overview
Python’s normal behavior is to execute statements in the order they are found, either in a file or at the prompt interactively. A few statements, specifically if, while, and for, alter the simple top-to-bottom sequence of statement execution. Additionally, an exception can break the sequential flow of execution. Exceptions are raised, and this interrupts the sequential execution of statements.
Types of exceptions
In Python, the exception that’s raised is also an object. There are many different exception classes available, and we can easily define more of our own. The
one thing they all have in common is that they inherit from a built-in class called BaseException.
SyntaxError
When an exception is raised, everything that was supposed to happen is pre-empted. Instead, exception handling ...
