how to raise your own exception in python code example

Example 1: raise exception in python

raise Exception('I know Python!') # Don't! If you catch, likely to hide bugs.

class SalaryNotInRangeError(Exception):
    """Exception raised for errors in the input salary.

    Attributes:
        salary -- input salary which caused the error
        message -- explanation of the error
    """

    def __init__(self, salary, message="Salary is not in (5000, 15000) range"):
        self.salary = salary
        self.message = message
        super().__init__(self.message)

    def __str__(self):
        return f'{self.salary} -> {self.message}'


salary = int(input("Enter salary amount: "))
if not 5000 < salary < 15000:
    raise SalaryNotInRangeError(salary)
