Try | Except | Finally

Python Programming For Beginners

Try-Except Block

Definition: The try block lets you test a block of code for errors. The except block lets you handle the error.

Syntax: python

try: # code that may raise an exception except ExceptionType: # code to handle the exception

Example: python

try: print(10 / 0) except ZeroDivisionError: print("Cannot divide by zero") # Output: Cannot divide by zero

Finally Block

Definition: The finally block lets you execute code, regardless of whether an exception was raised or not.

Syntax: python

try: # code that may raise an exception except ExceptionType: # code to handle the exception finally: # code that will always execute

Example: python

try: print(10 / 0) except ZeroDivisionError: print("Cannot divide by zero") finally: print("This will always execute") # Output: This will always execute
