Types of Errors:
Types of errors :
(i) Compile-time errors. These are the errors
resulting out of violation of programming
language’s grammar rules. All syntax errors
are reported during compilation.
(ii) Run-time errors . The errors that occur during
runtime because of unexpected situations. Such
errors are handled through exception handling
routines of Python.

What is an Exception :
Exceptions are unexpected events or errors that occur during the execution of a program, such as a
division by zero or accessing an invalid memory location. These events can lead to program termination or
incorrect results.
“It is an exceptional event that occurs during runtime and causes normal program flow to be disrupted.”
Some common examples of Exceptions are :
• Divide by zero errors
• Accessing the elements of an array beyond its range
• Invalid input m Hard disk crash
• Opening a non-existent file
• Heap memory exhausted

wrong with the program syntax, it is
only when we try to divide an integer
with zero , an exception is generated.

What is Exception Handling?
Exception handling in Python is a mechanism used to handle runtime errors that occur
during the execution of a Python program
Exception handling allows a program to gracefully handle such exceptions and recover
from errors by taking corrective actions instead of terminating abruptly. In Python,
exception handling is implemented using a try-except block
KV Coders Visit [Link] more regular updates
LET’S CRACK CBSE
Exception Handling using. try and except Block:
The try and except block in Python is a way to handle exceptions or errors that may occur during code
execution. This mechanism prevents the program from crashing by allowing it to continue running even if an
error is encountered.
In a try block, you write the code that might raise an exception. If an exception occurs, the code execution
jumps to the corresponding except block, where you can handle the error or take alternative actions.

Exception Name Descript

Raised when one of the built-in functions (input( )) hits an end-of-file condition (EOF) without reading any data. (NOTE. the [Link](
EOFError [Link](
) and ) methods return an empty string when they
hit EOF.)
Raised when an I/O operation (such as a print statement, the built-in open( ) function or a method of a file object) fails for an I/O-
IO Error “file notreason,
related found” e.g.,
or “disk
full”.
Raised when a local or global name is not found. This applies only to unqualified names. The associated value is an error message

Raised when a sequence subscript is out of range, e.g., from a list of length 4 if you try to read a value of index like 8 or E8 etc.
IndexError truncated to fall
(Slice indices areinsilently
the allowed range ; if an index is not a plain integer,
TypeError is raised.)
ImportError Raised when an import statement fails to find the module definition or when a from ... import fails to find a name that is to be
imported.
Raised when an operation or function is applied to an object of inappropriate type, e.g., if you try to compute a square-root of a
TypeError associated
string [Link]
The is a string giving details about the type
mismatch.
Raised when a built-in operation or function receives an argument that has the right type but an inappropriate value, and the
ValueError by a moreisprecise
situation exception such as

IndexError.
ZeroDivisionErro Raised when the second argument of a division or modulo operation is zero.
r
OverflowError Raised when the result of an arithmetic operation is too large to be represented.
KeyError Raised when a mapping (dictionary) key is not found in the set of existing keys
ImportError Raised when the module given with import statement is not found.
KeyboardInterru Raised when keys Esc, Del or Ctrl+C is pressed during program execution and normal program flow gets disturbed.

We can also provide a second argument (optional) for the except block, which gives a
reference to the

Handling Multiple Errors
Handling multiple exceptions in Python allows a single try-except block to handle different types of exceptions using
multiple except blocks. This allows a program to handle various types of errors that may occur during runtime and take
corrective measures accordingly.
In a try-except block, each except block is associated with a specific exception type, and the block containing the code to
handle that exception is executed if the corresponding exception occurs in the try block. By handling multiple
exceptions, programmers can write more robust and less error-prone code.

finally Block :
The finally block is a part of the try-except block in Python that contains the code that is executed
regardless of whether an exception is raised or not. The syntax of the try-except-finally block is as follows:
the try block contains the code that may raise an exception. If an exception occurs, the control is
transferred to the corresponding except block, which contains the code to handle the exception. The finally
block contains the code that is executed after the try-except blocks, regardless of whether an exception
occurred or not.

Example :
What is the order of execution?
In this example, if the user enters an invalid
input or attempts to divide by zero, the
corresponding except block handles the
exception and prints an error message to the
user. If no exception occurs, the else block is
executed and prints the result. Finally, the finally
block is executed and prints a message to
indicate the completion of the program
execution
