Raise Exception, Rest Still Runs

Question

This code from a lesson runs fine.
try:
print("Hello")
print(1 / 0)
except ZeroDivisionError:
print("Divided by zero")
# this is where it should stop and the following line should not run, but it does
print("This code will run no matter what")

I deletes "finally" and made the print() line it's own code... everything runs. Why doesn't the program stop running after an exception is called?

Answer 1

I believe this is what we call exception handling in Python (?). The exception is caught, the process for that block is terminated and a corresponding prompt is sent to console output. Exception handling enables the program to continue to function without crashing.

Answer 2

Oh okay. wow even if this IS simple it's still a lot to take in.

Answer 3

Exceptions aren't crashes. It just means that if A doesn't work, do B.

Answer 4

I believe the print is executed due to Indentation factor. It is in same line as try and except blocks defined.

Answer 5

yes, but the last line containing "print" was a "finally" block. i erased "finally" and made print it's own line. i was wondering why it didn't stop at the error.
