Try catch in Python

Code Explanation


 try:

    # Code that might raise an error
    result = 10 / 0
except Exception as e:
    # Print the error message
    print(f"An error occurred: {e}")


🔍 What This Code Does

  1. try: block

    • This is where you put code that might raise an exception (an error).
    • In this case, 10 / 0 is a division by zero, which is not allowed in Python and will raise a ZeroDivisionError.
  2. except Exception as e: block

    • This catches any exception that occurs in the try block.
    • Exception is the base class for most built-in exceptions, so it will catch almost any error.
    • as e stores the error object in the variable e.
  3. print(f"An error occurred: {e}")

    • This prints the error message to the console.
    • For 10 / 0, the output will be:
      An error occurred: division by zero
