What is a Catch/Except Block?
Catch block (in languages like Java and C++) or an Except block (in Python) is used to catch and handle exceptions or errors thrown within the corresponding try block. It contains the code that should be executed when a specific type of exception occurs. When an exception occurs in the try block, the program flow is transferred to the catch/except block, where the exception is caught and appropriate actions can be taken to handle the exceptional condition.
Try Catch Block in Programming
In programming, a try catch block is used for exception handling. The try
block contains code that might throw an exception and the catch
block handles specific exceptions by providing custom code. It prevents program termination when exceptions occur. Remember, we can use a try
block without a catch
block, but not vice versa.
