Handling

Error in Python can be of two types i.e.


Syntax errors and Exceptions. Errors are
problems in a program due to which will
stop the program from execution. On the
other hand, exceptions are raised when
some internal events occur due to
limitation of hardware or software part,
which change the normal flow of the

Different types of exceptions in
python:
• SyntaxError: This exception is raised when the interpreter encounters a
syntax error in
the code, such as a misspelled keyword, a missing colon, or an unbalanced
parenthesis.
• TypeError: This exception is raised when an operation or function is applied
to an object of the wrong type, such as adding a string to an integer.
• NameError: This exception is raised when a variable or function name is
not found in
the current scope.
• IndexError: This exception is raised when an index is out of range for a list,
tuple, or other sequence types.
• KeyError: This exception is raised when a key is not found in a dictionary.
• ValueError: This exception is raised when a function or method is called with
an invalid argument or input, such as trying to convert a string to an integer
when the string does not represent a valid integer.
• AttributeError: This exception is raised when an attribute or method is not
found on an object, such as trying to access a non-existent attribute of a
class instance.

• IOError: This exception is raised when an I/O operation, such as reading
or writing a file, fails due to an input/output error.
• ZeroDivisionError: This exception is raised when an attempt is made to
divide a number by zero.
• ImportError: This exception is raised when an import statement fails to find
or load a module.

Differencebetween Syntax Error
and
Exceptions
Syntax Error: This error is caused by the wrong
syntax in the
code.
if(amount > 999)
print(“amount more than 1000")
if(amount > 999)

Exceptions: Exceptions are raised when the program is


syntactically correct, but the code results in an error. This error
does not stop the execution of the program, however, it
