What is an Exception?

 Exception is an event which will occur during the


execution of a program that will halt or disrupt
the flow of the program execution.
 A programmer should handle these errors properly
which will safeguard program execution, or it will
allow the program to recover from the exception

By Nishan Saliya IIT 3


Error Types in Coding

 Syntax Errors
 Runtime Errors
 Logical Errors

By Nishan Saliya IIT 4


Syntax Errors

 Easy to find
 Occurs during the coding, testing and
development
 Easily fixed
 Program is released once the syntax
errors are fixed
By Nishan Saliya IIT 5
Syntax Error – Example 1

Syntax Error – Example 2

What are the details you see in this error message?

By Nishan Saliya IIT 7


Runtime Errors

 Moderately difficult to find


 Occurs during the deployment
 Once found, easy to fix

By Nishan Saliya IIT 8


Runtime

Runtime Error – Example

Logical Errors

 Hard to find
 Algorithm errors
 May visible during deployment not during coding,
testing and development
 Can be fixed if figured properly
 Program may be released with the logical error
 Shows no errors!
 Unpredicted behavior or output

Exception Handling in Python

 Python uses 4 different keywords to handle errors


 We discuss 3 of them
 They are,
 try
 except
 else

By Nishan Saliya IIT 13


try … except

try

You ask the code to “try”


a segment. If it works, then no issues

By Nishan Saliya IIT 14


try … except

try
The “try” throws an error
if it fails to execute a
code properly
The “except” captures
the error. Programmer
should handle it.

except

Python Exceptions (Built-In)

 Some common exceptions are,


 NameError
 ImportError
 IndexError
 SyntaxError
 TypeError

Your Own Exceptions

 You can create your own errors


 Raise your exception
