Programs can encounter errors (exceptions) during execution. try-except blocks allow you to handle these errors gracefully instead of crashing the program.

• try block: Contains the code that might raise an exception.
• except block: Contains the code to execute if a specific exception occurs in the try block. Example: try: num = int(input("Enter a number: ")) result = 10 / num print(result) except ValueError: print("That was not a valid number!") except ZeroDivisionError: print("You cannot divide by zero!") You can have multiple except blocks for different error types, or a generic except Exception: to catch any error.
