Catching multiple exceptions in Python with a single except block

How can you catch multiple exceptions using a single except block?

We can catch multiple exceptions using a single "except" block by specifying multiple exception types inside parentheses. This allows us to handle different types of exceptions in the same block of code.

Here's the syntax:

try:
    # Code that may raise exceptions
except (ExceptionType1, ExceptionType2, ...):
    # Code to handle exceptions of ExceptionType1 or ExceptionType2, etc.

In the above structure,

• try - Contains the code that may raise exceptions.
• except is followed by a tuple of exception types (ExceptionType1, ExceptionType2, etc.) enclosed in parentheses.
• The indented block following "except" is where we can put the code to handle exceptions of any of the specified types.

The following example illustrates how to catch multiple exceptions:

Code:

try:
    n = int(input("Input a number: "))
    result = 10 / n
except (ValueError, ZeroDivisionError):
    print("Invalid input or division by zero occurred.")

Output:

Input a number: a
Invalid input or division by zero occurred.

 
Input a number: 0
Invalid input or division by zero occurred.

In the above example, we catch both ValueError (if the user inputs something that cannot be converted to an integer, here n = 'a') and ZeroDivisionError (if the user enters zero, here n = 0) using a single except block.
