This class is designed for Class XII Computer Science students to develop a deep understanding of exception handling in Python. Exception handling is a crucial concept that ensures programs can manage errors gracefully, preventing abrupt crashes. The session will begin with a detailed explanation of the theory behind exception handling, including the significance of using try-except blocks to catch and handle exceptions. Students will also learn about the else clause, which executes when no exceptions are raised, and the finally clause, which runs regardless of whether an exception occurs. The concept of raising custom exceptions will also be introduced to handle specific error conditions.
In the second hour, students will put theory into practice through hands-on coding exercises. They will write Python programs that anticipate and handle common errors such as file not found, division by zero, and invalid inputs. These exercises will help students understand how to create robust programs that can operate smoothly even when encountering unexpected situations. By the end of the class, students will be equipped with the skills to implement effective exception handling, making their Python programs more reliable and user-friendly.
