Python Try / Except Exercises

Let’s check out some exercises that will help understand Try / Except better.

Exercise 3-a: ZeroDivisionError Exception w/ Try Except Statements

Place result="You can't divide with 0" to the right place so that program avoids ZeroDivisionError.

Hint 1

Since except ZeroDivision is already there:

simply place the value assignment for result after Except line.

Hint 2

Pay attention to indentations.

Solution

    result="You can't divide with 0"

Exercise 3-b: pass statement inside Try Except Statements

.get() is not a list method. Place pass keyword to the right line so that program doesn't throw an error.

Hint 1

All you have to do is type pass on the right line with the right indentation.

Hint 2

Watch out for when you use except and pass statements like this as they are pretty generalist statements and can cause trouble in more complex programs.

Solution

pass

Exercise 3-c: except Exception w/ Try Except Statements

Solution

except Exception:
    msg="You can't add int to string"
