Why Handle Exceptions?
Prevent Crashes
Unhandlederrorshalt execution, disrupting user experience and data integrity.

Data Integrity
Safeguards against partial operations, ensuring data consistency.

Your paragraph text

User Experience
Provides clear, actionable feedback instead of cryptic error messages.

Easier Debugging
Pinpointserrorsources, simplifying the troubleshooting process.

Notably, over 70% of production issues can be traced back to unhandled edge cases,
highlighting the importance of robust exception strategies.
The try-except Block: Basic
Usage
try Block
Enclosescode that might raise an exception.

except Block
Catches and handles specific error types.

try: result = 10 / 0except ZeroDivisionError:


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

Ifthecode in try succeeds, except isskipped.Ifanexception


occurs, except handles it, preventing program termination.
Advanced Exception Handling
Multipleexcept
Handledifferenterror types (e.g., ValueError,
FileNotFoundError).

else Block
Executes only if no exception occurred in try.

finally Block
Always executes, ideal for cleanup operations like closing files.

Custom Exceptions
Define and raise application-specific errors for clarity.
Best Practices & Conclusion
Be Specific
Catchnarrowexception types (e.g., IOError not just Exception).

Log Errors
Use Python's logging module for traceability and debugging.

with Statements
Ensure automatic resource cleanup (e.g., file handling).

Don't Suppress
Re-raise exceptions if they cannot be fully handled.

Effective exception handling is fundamental for building resilient,


maintainable, and user-friendly Python applications that stand the test
of time.
