Exception handling in Python is a way to manage errors that occur during the execution of a

program. It allows you to respond to different error conditions gracefully, rather than letting
the program crash. Here’s a basic overview of how it works, along with an example:

### Basic Structure

In Python, you use the `try...except` block to handle exceptions. The code that might cause an
exception is placed inside the `try` block, and the code to handle the exception is placed
inside the `except` block.

### Example

Let’s look at a simple example where we handle a division by zero error:

```python

Try:

Numerator = 10

Denominator = 0

Result = numerator / denominator

Print(result)

Except ZeroDivisionError:

Print(“Error: Denominator cannot be 0.”)

```

In this example:

- The code inside the `try` block attempts to divide 10 by 0, which raises a
`ZeroDivisionError`.

- The `except` block catches this specific exception and prints an error message.
### Catching Multiple Exceptions

You can also handle multiple exceptions by specifying different `except` blocks for each type
of exception:

```python

Try:

Even_numbers = [2, 4, 6, 8]

Print(even_numbers[5])

Except ZeroDivisionError:

Print(“Error: Denominator cannot be 0.”)

Except IndexError:

Print(“Error: Index out of bound.”)

```

Here, the code tries to access an index that doesn’t exist in the list, raising an `IndexError`.
The `except IndexError` block catches this exception and prints an appropriate message.

### Using `else` and `finally`

You can also use `else` and `finally` blocks with `try...except`:

- The `else` block runs if no exceptions are raised.

- The `finally` block runs no matter what, even if an exception occurs.

```python
Try:

Num = int(input(“Enter a number: “))

Assert num % 2 == 0

Except:

Print(“Not an even number!”)

Else:

Reciprocal = 1 / num

Print(f”The reciprocal is {reciprocal}”)

Finally:

Print(“This block always executes.”)

```

In this example:

- If the user inputs an even number, the `else` block calculates and prints the reciprocal.

- The `finally` block always executes, regardless of whether an exception was raised or not.
