Python Error Handling Exercises

Let’s check out some exercises that will help understand Python Errors better.

Exercise 15-a

Type something so that Python gives a NameError.

Hint 1

You’ll get a NameError when an object can’t be found in Python.

Solution

Without defining zzz anywhere:

print(zzz)

Exercise 15-b

Type something so that Python gives a SyntaxError.

Hint 1

You’ll get a SyntaxError when you make a syntax error in Python. It can be a missing quote or parenthesis.

Solution

print("Hello World!"

Exercise 15-c

Type something so that Python gives a TypeError.

Hint 1

You’ll get a TypeError when you apply an operation or function to the wrong type of data, such as applying arithmetic operations to strings.

Solution

str = "Hello"
str = str + 5

Exercise 15-d

Type something so that Python gives a IndexError.

Hint 1

You’ll get an IndexError when you try to reach an index outside the limits of your data.

Solution

str = "Hello"
print(str[10])

Exercise 15-e

Type something so that Python gives a KeyError.

Hint 1

KeyError is like IndexError for dictionaries. If you try to reach a key that’s not included in your dictionary, you’ll get a KeyError

Solution

dict = {1:111, 2:222, 3:333}
print(dict[5])

Exercise 15-f

Type something so that Python gives a AttributeError.

Hint 1

AttributeError will occur when you try to apply a method or attribute to the wrong data type which doesn’t have that method.

Solution

str = "Hello"
str.reverse()

Exercise 15-g

Type something so that Python gives a ValueError.

Hint 1

Value error occurs when you apply a function to a data type correctly but the content is not suitable for that operation. For example, you can apply int() to a string of numbers such as:
int(“111”)
but you can’t convert letters to integers so following won’t work:
int(“Hello”)

Solution

str = "moose"

ans_1 = int(str)
