# try / except / else / finally — Python

Source: https://www.geekswithgeeks.com/en/python/py-try-except

> Catch problems gracefully instead of crashing the program.

## The full structure

Risky code goes in `try`. Matching `except` blocks handle specific error types. `else` runs only if no error occurred; `finally` always runs.

```python
try:
    result = 10 / int(input("Divide by: "))
except ValueError:
    print("That's not a number")
except ZeroDivisionError:
    print("Can't divide by zero")
else:
    print("Result:", result)
finally:
    print("Done")
```

## Common exception types

Common built-in exceptions: `ValueError`, `TypeError`, `KeyError`, `IndexError`, `FileNotFoundError`, `ZeroDivisionError`. Catch the specific one you expect, not a bare `except:`.
