Today’s Topic: Exception Handling in Python

What It Is:
Exception handling is a mechanism in programming to manage runtime errors (exceptions) that occur during the execution of a program. Python uses try, except, and finally blocks to handle exceptions. This allows you to catch and handle errors gracefully instead of letting the program crash.

Why It Matters:
Exception handling is essential for making your programs more robust and user-friendly. By anticipating and managing errors, you can prevent unexpected crashes, provide helpful error messages, and ensure your program continues running smoothly even when problems arise.
