Exception handling enables your program to manage runtime errors gracefully. Python provides the try, except, and finally blocks to catch and handle exceptions, ensuring that your program continues or exits smoothly.

try:
    # code that may raise an exception
except ExceptionType as error_variable:
    # handle the exception
finally:
    # code to be executed regardless of whether an exception occurred

Example:

try:
  result = 10 / 0
except ZeroDivisionError:
  print("Cannot divide by zero!")
