Can we use “raise” statement outside the except block?

Question

Yes / No?
Why?

Answer 1

You can, but you should try and catch your errors. The whole point of raise is when you don't want to allow certain input.
If there's a program that takes input, but it should only take letters, and numbers were entered, python sees nothing wrong with this. There can be a check to see if any numbers were entered and if so, raise an error to say so

Answer 2

Yes you can use it outside the except block.
Why? That's the way the programming language was written 😃

It is a good explanation given by Slick . To disallow certain events (inputs) from happening.

Here's a quick example of its usage

Happy Coding 😀
