"Try-except ; Exception handling method using the try-except statement with an example"
In the above code, the 'divide_numbers' function performs a division operation between two numbers. However, when dividing by zero, a ZeroDivisionError exception can occur.
Let's execute the example:
In the first function call, it divides 10 by 2 and prints the result, which
is 5.0.
However, in the second function call, it attempts to divide 10 by 0,
resulting in a ZeroDivisionError exception. In this case, the except block
is executed, and the message
"Error: Cannot divide by zero!" is
printed.
By using the try-except statement, we can encapsulate the code that may
raise exceptions and handle the specific exceptions that occur. When an
exception occurs within the try block, the corresponding except block is
executed.
In the given example, we used the except ZeroDivisionError statement to
handle the ZeroDivisionError exception.
This exception handling technique allows for more robust execution of
programs, providing a way to handle unexpected situations. It ensures that
appropriate actions are taken even in the presence of exceptions, and it
allows for the display of clear and informative error messages to the user.
