Here, we will see a python program for exception handling. We will see how to handle divide by zero exception and throw exceptions if the wrong type of value is entered?

Program description

The program takes input from the user and checks if the user has entered valid data types and then at last checks for the divide by zero exception.

Python exception

An exception is a Python object that represents error that occurs during the execution of the program and this disturbs the flow of a program. The method of handling such exception is exception handling.

Steps to handle type exception in Python

The steps to handle type exception in Python are:

Step 1: We will take inputs from the user, two numbers.
Step 2: If the entered data is not integer, throw an exception.
Step 3: If the remainder is 0, throw divide by zero exception.
Step 4: If no exception is there, return the result.

Python program to illustrate the type exception

try:
    num1 = int(input("Enter First Number: "))
    num2 = int(input("Enter Second Number: "))

    result = num1 / num2

    print(result)
except ValueError as e:
    print("Invalid Input Please Input Integer...")
except ZeroDivisionError as e:
    print(e)

Output

Run 1: 
Enter First Number: 432.12
Invalid Input Please Input Integer...

Run 2: 
Enter First Number: 43
Enter Second Number: 0
division by zero

Run 3: 
Enter First Number: 331 2
Enter Second Number: 4
83.0

In this example, we have used the following Python topics that you should learn:
