Intro to Programming with Python

Software

Software is a set of instructions to the hardware.

Programming

Programming means writing the instructions to create a software.

Code

The instructions that we write to create software is called Code.

Syntax

Similar to Grammar rules in English, Hindi, each programming language has a unique set of rules. These rules are
called the Syntax of a Programming Language.

Why Python

Python is an easy to learn, powerful programming language. With Python, it is possible to create programs with
minimal amount of code. Look at the code in Java and Python used for printing the message "Hello World"

Java:

JAVA
1 class Main {
2 public static void main(String[] args) {
3 System.out.println("Hello World");
4 }
5 }

Python:

PYTHON
1 print("Hello World")

Variables and Data Types

Variables

Variables are like containers for storing values.

Values in the variables can be changed.

Values

Consider that variables are like containers for storing information.

In context of programming, this information is often referred to as value.

Data Type

In programming languages, every value or data has an associated type to it known as data type.
Some commonly used data types

String
Integer
Float
Boolean

This data type determines how the value or data can be used in the program. For example, mathematical
operations can be done on Integer and Float types of data.

String

A String is a stream of characters enclosed within quotes.

Stream of Characters

Capital Letters ( A – Z )
Small Letters ( a – z )
Digits ( 0 – 9 )
Special Characters (~ ! @ # $ % ^ . ?,)
Space

Some Examples

"Hello World!"
"some@example.com"
"1234"

Integer

All whole numbers (positive, negative and zero) without any fractional part come under Integers.
Examples

...-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3,...

Float

https://learning.ccbp.in/tech-foundations/course?c_id=a6454e48-d030-4d49-8920-253198052232&t_id=6bdf14a9-2664-4a96-9764-89d965de71a… 1/2
1/23/22, 8:54 PM Revolutionizing the Job Market | NxtWave

Any number with a decimal point

24.3, 345.210, -321.86

Boolean

In a general sense, anything that can take one of two possible values is considered a Boolean. Examples include
the data that can take values like

True or False
Yes or No
0 or 1
On or Off , etc.

As per the Python Syntax,

True and False are considered as Boolean values. Notice that both start with a
capital letter.

Assigning Value to Variable

The following is the syntax for assigning an integer value

10 to a variable age

PYTHON
1 age = 10

Here the equals to

= sign is called as Assignment Operator as it is used to assign values to variables.

Elif Statement

Use the elif statement to have multiple conditional statements between if and else.

The elif statement is optional.

Multiple Elif Statements

We can add any number of

elif statements after if conditional block.

https://learning.ccbp.in/tech-foundations/course?c_id=a6454e48-d030-4d49-8920-253198052232&t_id=9b13ad84-b75c-4328-9cd3-0c6751ae6b4… 3/6

Execution of Elif Statement

Python will execute the elif block whose expression evaluates to true.
If multiple

elif conditions are true, then only the first elif block which is True will be executed.

2 is_divisible_by_10 = (number % 10 == 0)
3 is_divisible_by_5 = (number % 5 == 0)
4 if is_divisible_by_10:
5 print("Divisible by 10")
6 elif is_divisible_by_5:
7 print("Divisible by 5")
8 else:

Loops

So far we have seen that Python executes code in a sequence and each block of code is executed once.
Loops allow us to execute a block of code several times.

While Loop

Allows us to execute a block of code several times as long as the condition is

True .

While Loop Example

The following code snippet prints the next three consecutive numbers after a given number.

Code

PYTHON
1 a = int(input())
2 counter = 0
3 while counter < 3:
4 a = a + 1
5 print(a)

break, continue

Break

Break statement makes the program exit a loop early.

Using Break

Generally, break is used to exit a loop when a condition is satisfied.

In the below example, when the variable

i value equals to 3 the break statement gets executed and stops the execution
of the loop further.

We got a new line by adding

\n escape character.

Examples - Escape Characters

Escape Characters start with a backslash in Python

\n -> New Line

\t -> Tab Space
\\ -> Backslash
\' -> Single Quote
\" -> Double Quote

Passing Strings With Quotes

The backslash

\ character here tells Python not to consider the next character as the ending of the
string.

Data Structures

Data Structures allow us to store and organize data efficiently.

This will allow us to easily access and perform operations on the data.

In Python, there are four built-in data structures

List

Tuple

Set

Dictionary

List

List is the most versatile python data structure.

Holds an ordered sequence of items.

Creating a List

Created by enclosing elements within [square] brackets.

Each item is separated by a comma.

Code

PYTHON
1 a = 2
2 list_a = [5, "Six", a, 8.2]
3 print(type(list_a))
4 print(list_a)

Output

<class 'list'>
[5, 'Six', 2, 8.2]

Creating a List of Lists

Code

PYTHON
1 a = 2

4 print(list_b)

Output

[1, [5, 'Six', 2, 8.2]]

Length of a List

Code

PYTHON
1 a = 2
2 list_a = [5, "Six", a, 8.2]
3 print(len(list_a))

Output

Accessing List Items

To access elements of a list, we use Indexing.

Code

PYTHON
1 a = 2
2 list_a = [5, "Six", a, 8.2]
3 print(list_a[1])

Output

Six

Iterating Over a List

Code

PYTHON
1 a = 2
2 list_a = [5, "Six", a, 8.2]
3 for item in list_a:
4 print(item)

https://learning.ccbp.in/tech-foundations/course?c_id=a6454e48-d030-4d49-8920-253198052232&t_id=61c4fcc8-aa24-4a69-bf08-554286988766… 2/6

1 list_a = [1, 2]
2 list_b = list_a * 3
3 print(list_b)

Output

[1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2]

List Slicing

Obtaining a part of a list is called List Slicing.

Code

PYTHON
1 list_a = [5, "Six", 2, 8.2]
2 list_b = list_a[:2]
3 print(list_b)

Output

[5, 'Six']

Extended Slicing

Similar to string extended slicing, we can extract alternate items using step.

Code

PYTHON
1 list_a = ["R", "B", "G", "O", "W"]
2 list_b = list_a[0:5:3]
3 print(list_b)

Output

Cheat Sheet

Working with Lists

Object

In general, anything that can be assigned to a variable in Python is referred to as an object.

Strings, Integers, Floats, Lists etc. are all objects.

Examples

"A"
1.25
[1,2,3]

Identity of an Object

Whenever an object is created in Python, it will be given a unique identifier (id).

This unique id can be different for each time you run the program.

Every object that you use in a Python Program will be stored in Computer Memory.

The unique id will be related to the location where the object is stored in the Computer Memory.

Finding Id

We can use the

id() to find the id of a object.

Code

PYTHON
1 print(id("Hello"))

https://learning.ccbp.in/tech-foundations/course?c_id=a6454e48-d030-4d49-8920-253198052232&t_id=61c4fcc8-aa24-4a69-bf08-554286988766… 1/7

String Formatting

Code

PYTHON
1 name = input()

Cheat Sheet

Dictionaries

Unordered collection of items.

Every dictionary item is a Key-value pair.

Creating a Dictionary

Created by enclosing items within {curly} brackets

Each item in dictionary has a key - value pair separated by a comma.

Code

PYTHON
1 dict_a = {
2 "name": "Teja",
3 "age": 15
4 }

Key - Value Pairs

Code

PYTHON
1 dict_a = {
2 "name": "Teja",
3 "age": 15
4 }

In the above dictionary, the

1/23/22, 9:22 PM Revolutionizing the Job Market | NxtWave

keys are name and age

values are Teja and 15

Collection of Key-Value Pairs

Code

PYTHON
1 dict_a = { "name": "Teja",
2 "age": 15 }
3 print(type(dict_a))
4 print(dict_a)

Output

<class 'dict'>
{'name': 'Teja','age': 15}

Immutable Keys

Keys must be of immutable type and must be unique.

Values can be of any data type and can repeat.

Code

PYTHON
1 dict_a = {
2 "name": "Teja",
3 "age": 15,
4 "roll_no": 15
5 }

Creating Empty Dictionary

1 dict_a = {}
2 print(type(dict_a))
3 print(dict_a)

Output

{}

Accessing Items

To access the items in dictionary, we use square bracket

[] along with the key to obtain its value.

Code

PYTHON
1 dict_a = {
2 'name': 'Teja',
3 'age': 15
4 }
5 print(dict_a['name'])

Output

Teja

Accessing Items - Get

The

get() method returns None if the key is not found.

Code

PYTHON
1 dict_a = {
2 'name': 'Teja',
3 'age': 15
4 }
5 print(dict_a.get('name'))

Output

Teja

Code

PYTHON
1 dict_a = {
2 'name': 'Teja',
3 'age': 15
4 }
5 print(dict_a.get('city'))

Output

None

KeyError

When we use the square brackets

[] to access the key-value, KeyError is raised in case a key is not found in the
dictionary.

Code

PYTHON
1 dict_a = {'name': 'Teja','age': 15 }
2 print(dict_a['city'])

Output

KeyError: 'city'

Quick Tip

If we use the square brackets [] , KeyError is raised in case a key is not found in the dictionary. On the
other hand, the get() method returns None if the key is not found.

Membership Check

Checks if the given key exists.

Code

PYTHON
1 dict_a = {
2 'name': 'Teja',
3 'age': 15
4 }
5 result = 'name' in dict_a
6 print(result)

Operations on Dictionaries

We can update a dictionary by

Adding a key-value pair

Modifying existing items
Deleting existing items

Adding a Key-Value Pair

Code

PYTHON
1 dict_a = {'name': 'Teja','age': 15 }
2 dict_a['city'] = 'Goa'
3 print(dict_a)

Output

{'name': 'Teja', 'age': 15, 'city': 'Goa'}

Modifying an Existing Item

As dictionaries are mutable, we can modify the values of the keys.

Code

PYTHON
1 dict_a = {
2 'name': 'Teja',
3 'age': 15
4 }
5 dict_a['age'] = 24
6 print(dict_a)

Output

{'name': 'Teja', 'age': 24}

1/23/22, 9:22 PM Revolutionizing the Job Market | NxtWave

We can also use the

del keyword to remove individual items or the entire dictionary itself.

Code

PYTHON
1 dict_a = {
2 'name': 'Teja',
3 'age': 15
4 }
5 del dict_a['age']
6 print(dict_a)

Output

{'name': 'Teja'}

Dictionary Views

They provide a dynamic view on the dictionary’s entries, which means that when the dictionary changes, the view
reflects these changes.

Dictionary Methods

dict.keys()
returns dictionary Keys

dict.values()
returns dictionary Values

dict.items()
returns dictionary items(key-value) pairs

The objects returned by

keys() , values() & items() are View Objects .

Getting Keys

The

keys() method returns a view object of the type dict_keys that holds a list of all keys.

Code

PYTHON
1 dict_a = {
2 'name': 'Teja',
3 'age': 15
4 }
5 print(dict_a.keys())

1/23/22, 9:22 PM Revolutionizing the Job Market | NxtWave

Output

dict_keys(['name', 'age'])

Getting Values

The

values()method returns a view object that displays a list of all the values in the
dictionary.

Code

PYTHON
1 dict_a = {
2 'name': 'Teja',
3 'age': 15
4 }
5 print(dict_a.values())

Output

dict_values(['Teja', 15])

Getting Items

The

items()method returns a view object that displays a list of dictionary's (key, value)
tuple pairs.

Code

PYTHON
1 dict_a = {
2 'name': 'Teja',
3 'age': 15

Introduction to OOP

Good Software

Before jumping into Object Oriented Programming, let’s understand the word Software.

Software is an easily changeable tool/product that performs a specific task.

The ease of changing or making changes to the software is referred as its softness.

A good software should keep the users happy, by delivering what they need.
A good software should also keep the developers happy. Ease of making changes (softness) keeps developers
happy. So is should be:
Easy to understand and make changes.

Easy to fix bugs and add new features within the scope.

Object-Oriented Programming System (OOPS) is a way of approaching, designing, developing software that is easy to
change.

Note

Keep in mind that building software differs from solving the coding questions (that you are doing in practice).

A fundamental difference is that you move on to the next problem once you solve a coding problem. But with
software, once you build it, you are often required to add new features and fix bugs that need you to make
changes to the code written by you or your colleagues. So unlike the coding questions, with software, you have
to keep working with the same code for a long time.

Therefore, ease of understanding (code-readability) and ease of making changes (code-maintainability) to the
code become crucial in software development.

The techniques and concepts you learn in this topic are developed over time based on software developers'
experiences to make working code easier.

OOPs

Object-Oriented Programming is a way of approaching, designing and developing software, so that the components
of the software and the interactions between them resembles real-life objects and their interactions.

Proper usage of OOPS concepts helps us build well-organized systems that are easy to use and extend.

Describing Real-Life Objects

In Object Oriented Programming, we model software after real-life objects. To be good at modeling software after
real-life objects, we should be able to properly describe them.

Let us try describing these real-life objects

The following description is a bad way of describing, as the information of an object scattered and unorganized.

Object 1 is a car and it has four tyres.

Object 2 is a dog and it has four legs.
Object 1 has four doors.
Object 1 can make sound.
Object 2, barks.
Object 1 is in blue color.
Object 2 is in brown color.

Organized Description

In the below description we are grouping the information related to an object.

Object 1 is a car and it has four tyres.

Object 1 has four doors.
Object 1 can make sound.
Object 1 is in blue color.

Object 2 is a dog and it has four legs. Object 2, barks.

Object 2 is in brown color

In the below approach, we further organize the information into

What the object is?

What the object has?

What the object can do?

Object 1 is a car
Object 1 has
Four tyres
Four seats
Four doors
and so on ...

Object 1 can
Sound horn
Move
Expand

The above description shows a simple framework where we describe object by specifying the properties that the
object has and actions that the object can do.

Organized Description should be

A clear separation of objects.

A clear grouping of what object has and what it does.

In this case, the objects that we describe have completely the same set of properties like camera, storage, etc.

Template

For objects that are very similar to each other (objects that have the same set of actions and properties), we can
create a standard Form or Template that can be used to describe different objects in that category.

Mobile Template

Bundling Data

While modeling real-life objects with object oriented programming, we ensure to bundle related information
together to clearly separate information of different objects.

Bundling of related properties and actions together is called Encapsulation.

Classes can be used to bundle related properties and actions.

Defining a Class

To create a class, use the keyword

class

Special Method

https://learning.ccbp.in/tech-foundations/course?c_id=a6454e48-d030-4d49-8920-253198052232&t_id=b6025dfc-a6e3-4225-ad36-ad07ca8d9f4e… 2/6

In Python, a special method

__init__ is used to assign values to properties.

Code

PYTHON
1 class Mobile:
2 def __init__(self, model, camera):
3 self.model = model
4 self.camera = camera

Properties & Values

Code

PYTHON
1 class Mobile:
2 def __init__(self, model, camera):
3 self.model = model
4 self.camera = camera
5 def make_call(self, number):
6 print("calling..")

In the above example,

model and camera are the properties and values are which passed to the __init__
method.

Action
PYTHON
1 class Mobile:
2 def __init__(self, model, camera):
3 self.model = model
4 self.camera = camera
5 def make_call(self, number):
6 print("calling..")

In the above example, the below function is an action

PYTHON
1 def make_call(self, number):
2 print("calling..")

In OOP terminology, properties are referred as attributes actions are referred as methods

Using a Class

To use the defined class, we have to instantiate it.

A class is like a blueprint, while its instance is based on that class with actual values.

Instance of Class
https://learning.ccbp.in/tech-foundations/course?c_id=a6454e48-d030-4d49-8920-253198052232&t_id=b6025dfc-a6e3-4225-ad36-ad07ca8d9f4e… 3/6

Syntax for creating an instance of class looks similar to function call.

An instance of class is Object.

Code

PYTHON
1 class Mobile:
2 def __init__(self, model, camera):
3 self.model = model
4 self.camera= camera
5
6 mobile_obj = Mobile(
7 "iPhone 12 Pro",
8 "12 MP")
9 print(mobile_obj)

Class Object

An object is simply a collection of attributes and methods that act on those data.

PYTHON
1 class Mobile:
2 def __init__(self, model, camera):
3 self.model = model
4 self.camera= camera
5
6 mobile_obj = Mobile(
7 "iPhone 12 Pro",
8 "12 MP")
9 print(mobile_obj)

Method Arguments & Return Values

Similar to functions, Methods also support positional, keyword & default arguments and also return values.

Code

PYTHON
1 class Mobile:
2 def __init__(self, model, camera):
3 self.model = model
4 self.camera= camera
5 def make_call(self,number):
6 return "calling..{}".format(number)

Instance Methods of Class

For instance method, we need to first write

self in the function definition and then the other arguments.

Code

PYTHON
https://learning.ccbp.in/tech-foundations/course?c_id=a6454e48-d030-4d49-8920-253198052232&t_id=b6025dfc-a6e3-4225-ad36-ad07ca8d9f4e… 4/6

Cheat Sheet

Attributes & Methods

Shopping Cart

Users can add different items to their shopping cart and checkout.
The total value of the cart should be more than a minimum amount (Rs. 100/-) for the checkout.
During Offer Sales, all users get a flat discount on their cart and the minimum cart value will be Rs. 200/-.

Attributes

Broadly, attributes can be categorized as

Instance Attributes

Class Attributes

Instance Attributes

Attributes whose value can differ for each instance of class are modeled as instance attributes.

Ex: Items in Cart

Inheritance

Inheritance is a mechanism by which a class inherits attributes and methods from another class.

With Inheritance, we can have

ElectronicItem inherit the attributes & methods from Product instead of defining them
again.

Product is Super/Base/Parent Class and ElectronicItem is Sub/Derived/Child Class.

Inheritance - Part 2

How would you design and implement placing order with the details of all the products
bought?

Composition

Modelling instances of one class as attributes of another class is called Composition

In the above example, we are modelling Product as attribute of Order

Overriding Methods

Sometimes, we require a method in the instances of a sub class to behave differently from the method in instance of a
superclass.

Code

PYTHON

Accessing Super Class’s Method

super() allows us to call methods of the superclass (Product) from the subclass.

Instead of writing and methods to access and modify warranty we can override

__init__

Let's add warranty of ElectronicItem.

Standard Library

Built-in Functions

Built-in functions are Readily available for reuse.

Some of the built Functions are

1. print()

2. max()

3. min()

4. len() and many more..

Standard Library

Python provides several such useful values (constants), classes and functions.

This collection of predefined utilities is referred as the Python Standard Library

All these functionalities are organized into different modules.

In Python context, any file containing a Python code is called a module

These modules are further organized into folders known as packages

Different modules are:

1. collections

2. random

3. datetime

4. math and many more..

Working with Standard Library

To use a functionality defined in a module we need to import that module in our program.

PYTHON
1 import module_name

Map Filter and Reduce

We worked with different sequences (list, tuples, etc.)

To simplify working with sequences we can use

map() , filter() and reduce() functions.

Map

map()applies a given function to each item of a sequence (list, tuple etc.) and returns a
sequence of the results.

Example - 1

Cheat Sheet

Scope & Namespaces

Object

In general, anything that can be assigned to a variable in Python is referred to as an object.

Strings, Integers, Floats, Lists, Functions, Module etc. are all objects.

Identity of an Object

Whenever an object is created in Python, it will be given a unique identifier (id).This unique id can be different
for each time you run the program.

https://learning.ccbp.in/tech-foundations/course?c_id=a6454e48-d030-4d49-8920-253198052232&t_id=7f553143-459d-43df-a3fb-4749ed73235… 1/10
1/23/22, 9:30 PM Revolutionizing the Job Market | NxtWave

Every object that you use in a Python Program will be stored in Computer Memory

The unique id will be related to the location where the object is stored in the Computer Memory.

Name of an Object

Name or Identifier is simply a name given to an object.

Namespaces

A namespace is a collection of currently defined names along with information about the object that the name
references.

It ensures that names are unique and won’t lead to any conflict.

https://learning.ccbp.in/tech-foundations/course?c_id=a6454e48-d030-4d49-8920-253198052232&t_id=7f553143-459d-43df-a3fb-4749ed73235… 2/10

Namespaces allow us to have the same name referring different things in different namespaces.

Types of namespaces

As Python executes a program, it creates namespaces as necessary and forgets them when they are no longer needed.

Different namespaces are:

1. Built-in

2. Global

3. Local

Built-in Namespace

Created when we start executing a Python program and exists as long as the program is running.

This is the reason that built-in functions like id(), print() etc. are always available to us from any part of the
program.

Global Namespace

This namespace includes all names defined directly in a module (outside of all functions).

It is created when the module is loaded, and it lasts until the program ends.

https://learning.ccbp.in/tech-foundations/course?c_id=a6454e48-d030-4d49-8920-253198052232&t_id=7f553143-459d-43df-a3fb-4749ed73235… 4/10
1/23/22, 9:30 PM Revolutionizing the Job Market | NxtWave

Local Namespace

Modules can have various

functions and classes .

A new local namespace is created when a function is called, which lasts until the function returns.

Errors & Exceptions

There are two major kinds of errors:

1. Syntax Errors

2. Exceptions

Syntax Errors

Syntax errors are parsing errors which occur when the code is not adhering to Python Syntax.

Code

PYTHON
1 if True print("Hello")

Output

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

When there is a syntax error, the program will not execute even if that part of code is not used.

Code

PYTHON
1 print("Hello")
2
3 def greet():
4 print("World"

Output

SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing

Notice that in the above code, the syntax error is inside the

greet function, which is not used in rest of the code.

Exceptions

Even when a statement or expression is syntactically correct, it may cause an error when an attempt is made to
execute it.

https://learning.ccbp.in/tech-foundations/course?c_id=a6454e48-d030-4d49-8920-253198052232&t_id=7f553143-459d-43df-a3fb-4749ed73235… 1/13

When you develop applications that are directly used by end-users, you need to handle different possible

exceptions in your code so that the application will not crash.

Reusable Modules

When you develop modules that are used by other developers, you should raise exceptions for different scenarios
so that other developers can handle them.

Raising Exceptions

When your code enters an unexpected state, raise an exception to communicate it.

Built-in Exceptions

Different exception classes which are raised in different scenarios.

You can use the built-in exception classes with raise keyword to raise an exception in the program.

Code

We can pass message as argument .

PYTHON
1 raise ValueError("Unexpected Value!!")

Output

https://learning.ccbp.in/tech-foundations/course?c_id=a6454e48-d030-4d49-8920-253198052232&t_id=7f553143-459d-43df-a3fb-4749ed73235… 6/13

Bank Account Class

Example 1

Code

PYTHON
25 user_2 = BankAccount("002")
26 user_1.deposit(25)
27 user_2.deposit(100)
28
29 print("User 1 Balance: {}/-".format(user_1.get_balance()))
30 print("User 2 Balance: {}/-".format(user_2.get_balance()))
31 transfer_amount(user_1, user_2, 50)
32 print("Transferring 50/- from User 1 to User 2")
33 print("User 1 Balance: {}/-".format(user_1.get_balance()))
34 print("User 2 Balance: {}/-".format(user_2.get_balance()))
Expand

Output

User 1 Balance: 25/-

User 2 Balance: 100/-

ValueError: Insufficient Funds

Handling Exceptions

Python provides a way to catch the exceptions that were raised so that they can be properly handled.
https://learning.ccbp.in/tech-foundations/course?c_id=a6454e48-d030-4d49-8920-253198052232&t_id=7f553143-459d-43df-a3fb-4749ed73235… 7/13
1/23/22, 9:31 PM Revolutionizing the Job Market | NxtWave

Exceptions can be handled with try-except block.

Whenever an exception occurs at some line in try block, the execution stops at that line and jumps to except
block.

PYTHON
1 try:
2 # Write code that
3 # might cause exceptions.
4 except:
5 # The code to be run when
6 # there is an exception.

Transfer Amount

Example 1

Code

PYTHON
1 class BankAccount:
2 def __init__(self, account_number):
3 self.account_number = str(account_number)
4 self.balance = 0
5
6 def get_balance(self):
7 return self.balance
8
9 def withdraw(self, amount):
10 if self.balance >= amount:

Summary

Reusable Modules

While developing reusable modules, we need to raise Exceptions to stop our code from being used in a bad way.

End-User Applications

While developing end-user applications, we need to handle Exceptions so that application will not crash when
used.

Handling Specific Exceptions

We can specifically mention the name of exception to catch all exceptions of that specific type.

Syntax

PYTHON
1 try:
2 # Write code that
3 # might cause exceptions.
4 except Exception:
5 # The code to be run when
6 # there is an exception.

Example 1

Code

PYTHON
1 try:
2 a = int(input())
3 b = int(input())
4 c = a/b
5 print(c)
6 except ZeroDivisionError:
7 print("Denominator can't be 0")
8 except:
9 print("Unhandled Exception")

Input

6 except ZeroDivisionError:
7 print("Denominator can't be 0")
8 except:
9 print("Unhandled Exception")

Input

12

Handling Multiple Exceptions

We can write multiple exception blocks to handle different types of exceptions differently.

Syntax

PYTHON
1 try:
2 # Write code that
3 # might cause exceptions.
4 except Exception1:
5 # The code to be run when
6 # there is an exception.
