Complete Python Scripting for Automation - Introduction to Exception Handling

The video tutorial explains exceptions in Python, highlighting the difference between syntax and runtime errors. It demonstrates how exceptions can cause a script to terminate and introduces methods to handle them using try and except blocks. Practical examples, such as handling file not found and index errors, are provided. The tutorial also covers advanced exception handling techniques, including dealing with import errors and other common exceptions.

What is an exception in Python?

• A successful execution of code

• A type of variable

• A function that returns a value

• An error that disrupts the normal flow of a program

Which type of error occurs when the syntax of the code is incorrect?

• Semantic error

• Runtime error

• Syntax error

• Logical error

What is a runtime error in Python?

• An error that occurs during the execution of a program

• An error that occurs before the program runs

• An error that is ignored by the Python interpreter

• An error that is always caused by incorrect syntax

How can you handle exceptions in Python?

• Using print statements

• Using try-except blocks

• Using if-else statements

• Using loops

What is the purpose of the 'except' block in Python?

• To import modules

• To handle errors that occur in the try block

• To define variables

• To execute code when no errors occur

What happens if an error occurs in the try block?

• The except block is executed

• The error is ignored

• The program crashes immediately

• The program continues without any action

How can you print the specific error message in an except block?

• By using the exception variable

• By using the 'as' keyword with the exception

• By using the error variable

• By using the print function

Which of the following is a common exception in Python?

• Syntax error

• Index error

• Variable error

• Function error

What is an import error in Python?

• An error that occurs when a function is not called

• An error that occurs when a variable is not defined

• An error that occurs when a module is not found

• An error that occurs when a loop is infinite

What is the result of trying to access an index that is out of range in a list?

• Syntax error

• Runtime error

• Import error

• Index error
