Exception
These are the errors that occur during the execution of a program.
When an error occurs, python stops the normal flow of the program and raises an
Exception.
When the Exception is not handled, the program will terminate and display a
traceback error message.
Types of errors
Name error
Valu error
Type error
Syntax error
Index error
Arithmetic error
Import module error
File not found error
In [4]: # Nameerror - When the variable is not defined
print(a)
print(2*2)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NameError Traceback (most recent call last)
Cell In[4], line 1
----> 1 print(a) # Nameerror
2 print(2*2)
NameError: name 'a' is not defined
Whenever an exception occurs in our program and it is not handled by the program
, it generates a detailed report about what went wrong.
In [6]: ## Valuerror - whenever incorrect datatype is given to a correct function.
a=int(input())
print(a)

To handle all these type of errors, we use try and except blocks.
Try and except blocks are used to handle the exceptions(errors) that may occur
during the execution of a program.
This allows your program to continue running even when an error occurs, rather
than crashing.

occurs

Usage of Exceptions

9/2/24, 2:22 PM (02-09-2024)
Error handling
Input validation
Raising custom exceptions
Disadvantages :
Performance Overhead = Instead of catching the frequent exceptions for
multiple times, its better to stop at the first occurence.
Complexity
