Exception Handling in Python

Exception handling in Python is done through the use of try, except, else, and finally blocks. This allows you to catch and handle errors gracefully. Below are some examples and explanations:

1. Basic Try-Except

The try block lets you test a block of code for errors. The except block lets you handle the error.


# Example of basic try-except
try:
    result = 10 / 0
except ZeroDivisionError:
    print("Cannot divide by zero!")

# Output:
# Cannot divide by zero!

2. Handling Multiple Exceptions

You can catch multiple exceptions by specifying multiple except blocks.


# Example of handling multiple exceptions
try:
    result = 10 / 0
except ZeroDivisionError:
    print("Cannot divide by zero!")
except TypeError:
    print("Invalid operation!")

# Output:
# Cannot divide by zero!

3. Using Else

The else block lets you execute code if no exceptions were raised.


# Example of using else with try-except
try:
    result = 10 / 2
except ZeroDivisionError:
    print("Cannot divide by zero!")
else:
    print("The result is", result)

# Output:
# The result is 5.0

4. Using Finally

The finally block lets you execute code, regardless of the result of the try and except blocks.


# Example of using finally
try:
    result = 10 / 0
except ZeroDivisionError:
    print("Cannot divide by zero!")
finally:
    print("This will always execute")

# Output:
# Cannot divide by zero!
# This will always execute

5. Raising Exceptions

You can raise exceptions using the raise keyword.


# Example of raising an exception
def check_positive(number):
    if number < 0:
        raise ValueError("Number must be positive")

try:
    check_positive(-10)
except ValueError as e:
    print(e)

# Output:
# Number must be positive

6. Custom Exceptions

You can define your own exceptions by creating a new class that inherits from the built-in Exception class.


# Example of custom exceptions
class CustomError(Exception):
    pass

try:
    raise CustomError("This is a custom error")
except CustomError as e:
    print(e)

# Output:
# This is a custom error

MultiProcessing in Python

  Learning Sections          show MultiProcessing in Python Multiprocessing in Python involves using the multiprocessing module to run multiple processes concurrently, taking advantage of multiple CPU cores. This module provides a higher level of concurrency than threading and is especially useful for CPU-bound tasks. Creating Processes You can create and start a new process by using the multiprocessing module: import multiprocessing def print_numbers (): for i in range ( 10 ): print ( i ) p1 = multiprocessing.Process ( target = print_numbers ) p1 . start () p1 . join () # Wait for the process to complete Using Process Pools The multiprocessing module provides a Pool class, which allows you to manage a pool of worker processes: from multiprocessing import Pool def square ( n ): return n * n with Pool ( 4 ) as pool : result = pool.map ( square , range (...

Conclusion and where to go after this

  Conclusion and Where to Go After This Congratulations on completing your Python learning journey! You've covered a wide array of topics, from the basics of syntax and data types to advanced concepts like multithreading, multiprocessing, and decorators. But learning doesn't stop here. Python is a versatile language with many specialized fields where you can apply your skills. Here are some potential paths you can explore next: Machine Learning Machine Learning (ML) is one of the most exciting fields you can dive into. Python's libraries like TensorFlow, Keras, scikit-learn, and PyTorch make it an ideal language for building ML models. You'll learn about supervised and unsupervised learning, deep learning, neural networks, and more. Start with the basics of linear regression and classification, then move on to more complex models like convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs).
