python print valueerror code example

Example 1: how to use except statement in python

>>> def divide(x, y):
...     try:
...         result = x / y
...     except ZeroDivisionError:
...         print("division by zero!")
...     else:
...         print("result is", result)
...     finally:
...         print("executing finally clause")
...
>>> divide(2, 1)
result is 2.0
executing finally clause
>>> divide(2, 0)
division by zero!
executing finally clause
>>> divide("2", "1")
executing finally clause
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<stdin>", line 3, in divide
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for /: 'str' and 'str'

Example 2: catch error data with except python

import sys
try:
	S = 1/0 #Create Error
except: # catch *all* exceptions
    e = sys.exc_info()
    print(e) # (Exception Type, Exception Value, TraceBack)

############
#    OR    #
############
try:
	S = 1/0
except ZeroDivisionError as e:
    print(e) # ZeroDivisionError('division by zero')
