Exploring Python's Try Block for exception handling

How does the try block work in handling exceptions in Python?

The "try" block in Python encloses a section of code where exceptions might occur. It defines a scope within which the interpreter monitors for exceptions.

Here is how it works:

• The code that could raise an exception is placed inside the try block.
• When an exception occurs in the try block, Python immediately stops execution of the "try" block code.
• It will then jump to the appropriate "except" block to handle that exception.
• If no exception occurs, the "try" block will execute completely.

For example:

Code:

try:
    n = int(input("Input a number: "))
    result = 100 / n
    print("Result:", result)
except ZeroDivisionError:
    print("Cannot divide by zero!")
except ValueError:
    print("Invalid input, please input a number.")

Output:

Input a number: abcd
Invalid input, please input a number.

Input a number: 12
Result: 8.333333333333334

Input a number: 0
Cannot divide by zero!

In the example above:

• If the user inputs 0, a "ZeroDivisionError" exception is raised, and the program jumps to the corresponding "except" "ZeroDivisionError" block.
• If the user inputs a non-numeric input, a "ValueError" exception is raised, and the program jumps to the corresponding "except" "ValueError block".
