Use the else block

EasyException Handling Programs · 7 of 20

Write a Python program that uses else to run code only when no exception occurred.

Input

"25", "x"

Output

25 squared is 625
x is not a number

Approach

else runs after try only if nothing was raised.

Solution

Python

for text in ["25", "x"]:    try:        n = int(text)    except ValueError:        print(text, "is not a number")    else:        print(text, "squared is", n * n)

Output

25 squared is 625
x is not a number

Line by line

Lines 6-7

Keeping the follow-up work in else means a bug there is not hidden by the except.
