This code defines two variables a
and b
and assigns values 5
and 0
to them respectively.
The code then tries to evaluate the expression a + b + c
, where c
is not defined. The result of such an operation would raise a NameError
, as the variable c
is not defined.
To handle such exceptions, the code uses a try-except
block to catch the error. In case a NameError
is raised, the code inside the except
block will be executed, which prints the error message using e
. The e
is an instance of the exception, which holds the error message that is generated when the exception is raised.
The try-except
block allows the code to continue executing even in the presence of errors, without crashing the program. It provides a way to handle exceptions and provides a more user-friendly output.
a, b = 5, 0
try:
result = a + b + c
except NameError as e:
print(e)
name 'c' is not defined
