EXCEPTIONS

⮚ When a Python program meets an error, it stops the execution of the rest of the program. ⮚ An
exception is an error that occurs at runtime. An exception is an erroneous condition that arises while
program is running.
⮚ The runtime errors occur while program is in execution or program is in running code. ⮚ An
exception is an event, which occurs during the execution of a program that disrupts the normal
flow of the program's instructions. An exception is a Python object that represents an error

Description of the Exception
Exception

1 Exception All exceptions of Python have a base class.

2 StopIteration If the next() method returns null for an iterator, this exception is raised.

3 SystemExit The sys.exit() procedure raises this value.

4 StandardError Excluding the StopIteration and SystemExit, this is the base class for
all Python built-in exceptions.

5 ArithmeticError All mathematical computation errors belong to this base class.

6 OverflowError This exception is raised when a computation surpasses the numeric

data type's maximum limit.

7 FloatingPointError If a floating-point operation fails, this exception is raised.

8 ZeroDivisionError For all numeric data types, its value is raised whenever a number is
attempted to be divided by zero.

9 AssertionError If the Assert statement fails, this exception is raised.

10 AttributeError This exception is raised if a variable reference or assigning a value fails.

11 EOFError When the endpoint of the file is approached, and the interpreter didn't
get any input value by raw_input() or input() functions, this exception
is raised.

12 ImportError This exception is raised if using the import keyword to import a

module fails.

13 KeyboardInterrupt If the user interrupts the execution of a program, generally by hitting

Ctrl+C, this exception is raised.

14 LookupError LookupErrorBase is the base class for all search errors.

15 IndexError This exception is raised when the index attempted to be accessed is not
found.
16 KeyError When the given key is not found in the dictionary to be found in, this
exception is raised.

17 NameError This exception is raised when a variable isn't located in either local or
global namespace.

18 UnboundLocalError This exception is raised when we try to access a local variable inside a
function, and the variable has not been assigned any value.

19 EnvironmentError All exceptions that arise beyond the Python environment have this
base class.

20 IOError If an input or output action fails, like when using the print command or
the open() function to access a file that does not exist, this exception is
raised.

22 SyntaxError This exception is raised whenever a syntax error occurs in our program.

23 IndentationError This exception was raised when we made an improper indentation.

24 SystemExit This exception is raised when the sys.exit() method is used to

terminate the Python interpreter. The parser exits if the situation is not
addressed within the code.

25 TypeError This exception is raised whenever a data type-incompatible action or

function is tried to be executed.

26 ValueError This exception is raised if the parameters for a built-in method for a
particular data type are of the correct type but have been given the
wrong values.

27 RuntimeError This exception is raised when an error that occurred during the
program's execution cannot be classified.

28 NotImplementedError If an abstract function that the user must define in an inherited class is
not defined, this exception is raised.

Exceptions versus Syntax Errors

#Python code after removing the syntax error

string = "Python Exceptions"

for s in string:

if (s != o:

print( s )
#Python code after removing the syntax error

string = "Python Exceptions"

for s in string:

if (s != o):

print( s )

WITHOUT TRY CATACH EXCEPTION

# Python code to catch an exception and handle it using try and except code blocks

a = ["CSBS", "CCE", "IT"]

#looping through the elements of the array a, choosing a range that goes beyond the length of the array

for i in range( 4 ):

print( "The index and element from the array is", i, a[i] )

To avoid this use try and except
