Handling Errors (Exception Handling) — Python typing lesson
Learn try/except to handle errors gracefully.
What you'll practice
What if a user types text when we expect a number? Our program could crash! Let's learn to handle errors with `try` and `except`.
- Python will `try` to run the code inside the `try` block.
- If an error happens in the `try` block, the code in the `except` block will run instead.
