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

The except block lets you handle the error.

The else block lets you execute code when there is no 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:

In [4]: print(x)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NameError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-4-fc17d851ef81> in <module>
----> 1 print(x)

NameError: name 'x' is not defined

In [5]: try:
print(x)
except:
print("An exception occurred")

In [6]: try:
print(x)
except NameError:
print("Variable x is not defined")
except:
print("Something else went wrong")

In [7]: try:
print("Hello")
except:
print("Something went wrong")
else:
print("Nothing went wrong")
