EasyIntermediateAdvancedExpert

Basic error handling

Catching exceptions with try/except.

python
try:
    result = 10 / 0
except ZeroDivisionError:
    print("Cannot divide by zero!")

try:
    number = int("hello")
except ValueError as e:
    print(f"Invalid input: {e}")

print("Program continues normally")
Expected Output
Cannot divide by zero!
Invalid input: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'hello'
Program continues normally

try/except prevents your program from crashing when errors occur. Always catch specific exceptions, not bare except.
