Errors & Exceptions
There are two major kinds of errors:
1. Syntax Errors
2. Exceptions
Syntax Errors
Syntax errors are parsing errors which occur when the code is not adhering
to Python Syntax.
Code
PYTHON
1 if True print("Hello")
Output
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
When there is a syntax error, the program will not execute even if that part
of code is not used.
Code
PYTHON
1 print("Hello")
2
3 def greet():
4 print("World"
https://learning.ccbp.in/course?c_id=a6454e48-d030-4d49-8920-253198052232&t_id=7f553143-459d-43df-a3fb-4749ed732353&s_id=d0867a5… 2/17
7/27/24, 9:54 PM Revolutionizing the Job Market | NxtWave
Output
SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing
Notice that in the above code, the syntax error is inside the
greet function, which is not used in rest of the code.
Exceptions
Even when a statement or expression is syntactically correct, it may
cause an error when an attempt is made to execute it.
Errors detected during execution are called exceptions.
Example Scenario
We wrote a program to download a Video over the Internet.
Internet is disconnected during the download
We do not have space left on the device to download the video

Output
KeyError: 'biscuits'
Working With Exceptions
What happens when your code runs into an exception during execution?
The application/program crashes.
End-User Applications
When you develop applications that are directly used by end-users, you
need to handle different possible exceptions in your code so that the
application will not crash.
Reusable Modules
When you develop modules that are used by other developers, you should
raise exceptions for different scenarios so that other developers can
handle them.

Money Transfer App Scenario
Let’s consider we are creating an app that allows users to transfer money
between them.
Bank Account Class
Example 1
Code
PYTHON
1 class BankAccount:
2 def __init__(self, account_number):
3 self.account_number = str(account_number)
4 self.balance = 0
5
6 def get_balance(self):
7 return self.balance
https://learning.ccbp.in/course?c_id=a6454e48-d030-4d49-8920-253198052232&t_id=7f553143-459d-43df-a3fb-4749ed732353&s_id=d0867a5… 6/17

8
9 def withdraw(self, amount):
10 if self.balance >= amount:
11 self.balance -= amount
Expand
Output
User 1 Balance: 250/-
User 2 Balance: 100/-
Transferring 50/- from User 1 to User 2
User 1 Balance: 200/-
User 2 Balance: 150/-
Example 2
Code
PYTHON
1 class BankAccount:
2 def __init__(self, account_number):
3 self.account_number = str(account_number)
4 self.balance = 0
5
6 def get_balance(self):
7 return self.balance
8
9 def withdraw(self, amount):
10 if self.balance >= amount:
11 self balance -= amount
https://learning.ccbp.in/course?c_id=a6454e48-d030-4d49-8920-253198052232&t_id=7f553143-459d-43df-a3fb-4749ed732353&s_id=d0867a5… 7/17
7/27/24, 9:54 PM Revolutionizing the Job Market | NxtWave
11 self.balance = amount
Expand
Output
User 1 Balance: 25/-
User 2 Balance: 100/-
Insufficient Funds
Transferring 50/- from User 1 to User 2
User 1 Balance: 25/-
User 2 Balance: 150/-
Raising Exceptions
When your code enters an unexpected state, raise an exception to
communicate it.
Built-in Exceptions
Different exception classes which are raised in different scenarios.
https://learning.ccbp.in/course?c_id=a6454e48-d030-4d49-8920-253198052232&t_id=7f553143-459d-43df-a3fb-4749ed732353&s_id=d0867a5… 8/17
7/27/24, 9:54 PM Revolutionizing the Job Market | NxtWave
You can use the built-in exception classes with raise keyword to raise an
exception in the program.
Code
We can pass message as argument .
PYTHON
1 raise ValueError("Unexpected Value!!")
Output
ValueError:Unexpected Value!!
Bank Account Class
Example 1
https://learning.ccbp.in/course?c_id=a6454e48-d030-4d49-8920-253198052232&t_id=7f553143-459d-43df-a3fb-4749ed732353&s_id=d0867a5… 9/17

Python provides a way to catch the exceptions that were raised so that
they can be properly handled.
Exceptions can be handled with try-except block.
Whenever an exception occurs at some line in try block, the execution
stops at that line and jumps to except block.
PYTHON
1 try:
2 # Write code that
3 # might cause exceptions.
4 except:
5 # The code to be run when
6 # there is an exception.
Transfer Amount
Example 1
Code
PYTHON
1 class BankAccount:
2 def __init__(self, account_number):
3 self.account_number = str(account_number)
4 self.balance = 0
5
6 def get_balance(self):
7 return self.balance

9 def withdraw(self, amount):
10 if self.balance >= amount:
11 self.balance -= amount

Output
User 1 Balance: 25/-
User 2 Balance: 100/-
False
Transferring 50/- from User 1 to User 2
User 1 Balance: 25/-
User 2 Balance: 100/-
Summary
Reusable Modules
While developing reusable modules, we need to raise Exceptions to
stop our code from being used in a bad way.
End-User Applications
While developing end-user applications, we need to handle Exceptions
so that application will not crash when used.
Handling Specific Exceptions
We can specifically mention the name of exception to catch all
exceptions of that specific type.

exceptions differently.
