2nd PUC Computer Science - NCERT Notes

Topic: Exception Handling in Python

* What is an Exception?

An exception is a runtime error that occurs when a program violates Python's rules or logic (e.g.,

dividing by zero, accessing an invalid index, etc.).

* Need for Exception Handling

1. To avoid program crashes

2. To detect and fix runtime errors

3. To maintain program flow

4. To provide user-friendly error messages

* Common Python Exceptions

ZeroDivisionError - Dividing a number by zero

IndexError - Accessing an invalid list index

ValueError - Using the wrong value type

FileNotFoundError - Opening a non-existent file

TypeError - Using incompatible data types

* Exception Handling Syntax in Python

try:

# Code that may cause an error

except ExceptionType:

# Code to handle the error

else:

# (Optional) Runs if no exception occurs


finally:

# (Optional) Runs no matter what

* Example 1: Handling ZeroDivisionError

try:

a = 10

b=0

result = a / b

except ZeroDivisionError:

print("Error: Cannot divide by zero.")

Output:

Error: Cannot divide by zero.

* Example 2: Handling Multiple Exceptions

try:

num = int(input("Enter a number: "))

print("Result:", 10 / num)

except ValueError:

print("Invalid input! Please enter a number.")

except ZeroDivisionError:

print("Cannot divide by zero.")

* Example 3: Catching the Exception Object

try:

a = int("abc")

except ValueError as e:
print("Caught an exception:", e)

Output:

Caught an exception: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'abc'

* Example 4: Using Finally Block

try:

file = open("data.txt", "r")

content = file.read()

except FileNotFoundError:

print("File not found.")

finally:

print("Execution of finally block.")

Output:

File not found.

Execution of finally block.

* Keywords Summary

try - Block where exception may occur

except - Handles the specific exception

else - Runs if no exception occurs (optional)

finally - Always runs (used for cleanup, optional)

* Importance in Real Life

- Banking applications: Handle invalid account operations.

- Web applications: Prevent crash on incorrect input.


- File handling: Manage missing or corrupt files.
