    The try block allows testing code for errors, the except block handles any errors, and finally block executes code regardless of try/except results. Exceptions can be handled using try/except and multiple except blocks can handle different errors. An else block runs if no errors, and finally always runs for cleanup. Developers can raise their own exceptions with raise if a condition occurs.

    7/15/2021 Python Try Except

    The try block lets you test a block of code for errors.

    The except block lets you handle the error.

    The finally block lets you execute code, regardless of the result of the try- and except
    blocks.

    Exception Handling
    When an error occurs, or exception as we call it, Python will normally stop and generate an error
    message.

    These exceptions can be handled using the try statement:

    Example
    The try block will generate an exception, because x is not defined:

    try:
    print(x)
    except:
    print("An exception occurred")

    Since the try block raises an error, the except block will be executed.

    Without the try block, the program will crash and raise an error:

    Example
    This statement will raise an error, because x is not defined:

    print(x)

    Many Exceptions
    You can define as many exception blocks as you want, e.g. if you want to execute a special block
    of code for a special kind of error:

    Example
    Print one message if the try block raises a NameError and another for other errors:

    try:
    print(x)
    except NameError:
    print("Variable x is not defined")
    except:
    print("Something else went wrong")

    Else
    You can use the else keyword to define a block of code to be executed if no errors were raised:

    Example
    In this example, the try block does not generate any error:

    try:
    print("Hello")
    except:
    print("Something went wrong")
    else:
    print("Nothing went wrong")

    Finally

    The finally block, if specified, will be executed regardless if the try block raises an error or
    not.

    Example
    try:
    print(x)
    except:
    print("Something went wrong")
    finally:
    print("The 'try except' is finished")

    This can be useful to close objects and clean up resources:

    Example
    Try to open and write to a file that is not writable:

    try:
    f = open("demofile.txt")
    f.write("Lorum Ipsum")
    except:
    print("Something went wrong when writing to the file")
    finally:
    f.close()

    The program can continue, without leaving the file object open.

    Raise an exception
    As a Python developer you can choose to throw an exception if a condition occurs.

    To throw (or raise) an exception, use the raise keyword.

    Example
    https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_try_except.asp 3/4
    7/15/2021 Python Try Except

    Raise an error and stop the program if x is lower than 0:

    x = -1

    if x < 0:
    raise Exception("Sorry, no numbers below zero")

    Try it Yourself »

    The raise keyword is used to raise an exception.

    You can define what kind of error to raise, and the text to print to the user.

    Example
    Raise a TypeError if x is not an integer:

    x = "hello"

    if not type(x) is int:


    raise TypeError("Only integers are allowed")
