Try and Except Blocks

The try-except block is the fundamental mechanism for exception handling in Python. Code that might raise an exception is placed in the try block. If an exception occurs, execution immediately jumps to the appropriate except block. You can have multiple except blocks to handle different types of exceptions. The except blocks are checked in order, so more specific exceptions should come before more general ones. You can catch multiple exception types in a single except block using a tuple. Without specifying an exception type, except: will catch all exceptions, but this is generally discouraged as it can mask unexpected errors. The exception object can be captured using the 'as' keyword to access information about the error. Proper exception handling involves catching specific exceptions that you expect and know how to handle, rather than catching everything. This approach makes debugging easier and prevents masking of unexpected errors that should be addressed differently.
