Study Notes
Exception Handling in Python
- Errors in programming are issues or defects that cause abnormal behavior or unexpected output
- These are also referred to as bugs or faults
- Errors are categorized as syntax errors and runtime errors
Syntax Errors
- These errors occur during the programming process due to violating the rules of the programming language
- They are also known as parsing errors
- Example: A missing or incorrect symbol in code
Runtime Errors
- These errors happen during program execution
- They can be due to incorrect user input, memory issues, or logic errors
- They are also called exceptions
- Examples include division by zero, file not found, type errors, value errors
What is an Exception?
- Exceptions are unwanted or unexpected events that disrupt the normal flow of a program
- Examples include division by zero, file not found, type errors, value errors
Types of Exceptions
- Built-in Exceptions: These are predefined exceptions in Python
- SyntaxError
- ValueError
- IOError
- KeyboardInterrupt
- ImportError
- EOFError
- ZeroDivisionError
- IndexError
- NameError
- TypeError
- OverflowError
- User-defined Exceptions: Programmers can create custom exceptions
- These exceptions are tailored to specific program needs
Exception Handling with try
, except
, and finally
try
: The block where the code that may generate an exception is placedexcept
: Handles specific types of exceptionselse
: Executes if no exceptions occur in thetry
blockfinally
: Executes regardless of whether an exception occurred or not
Raising Exceptions
- Using the
raise
statement, developers can explicitly create exceptions- Typically used for custom, user-defined exceptions
Multiple Except Clauses
- You can have multiple
except
blocks to handle different types of exceptions
Assert Statement
- It's a debugging tool
- Used to test conditions inside your code
- If the assertion fails, an
AssertionError
is raised
Catching Exceptions
- A mechanism used to deal with exceptions if they occur within a program
- Keeps the program running smoothly despite errors
