raise

Question

I tried the raise statement but the output gave an error:"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Paython/except_raise.py", line 4, in <module>
print(num1/num2)
ZeroDivisionError: division by zero

Did that mean the raise was not recognized by the program? what can be the reason?

Answer 1

Please share your code

Answer 2

Use except statement to catch exception.

try:
print(1/0)
except:
print("error")

Answer 3

Hi,
hard to help without code.
Could you please link your code here?

Answer 4

If you did something like
raise ZeroDivisionError("division by zero")
then the output is perfectly legit. Raise statement literally raises an error, it doesn't just print out the error. And I hope you're not confusing except with raise.

Answer 5

That is what I want
I thought it will not produce an error message like except
I simply used the following
try:
num = 5 / 0
except:
print("An error occurred")
raise
