...         print("division by zero!")
...     else:
...         print("result is", result)
...     finally:
...         print("executing finally clause")
...
>>> divide(2, 1)

Example 3: try except python

# Python try: except:

try:
  print(a + b) # Program will try the add b to a
except:
  print("There was an error") # If the program will have an error in the try block
  							  # The except block will run
    						  # except block will run and then the program will continue to run
    
# Examples:
a = 1
b = 1 # <===== no error, except block skipped

a = 1
b = 'one' # <===== error, except block run
