26. Exception Handling
This chapter focuses on exception handling in Python, emphasizing the identification and management of various types of runtime errors, such as name errors, zero division errors, and index errors. It discusses the structure of try and except blocks for catching exceptions and providing corrective actions without terminating the program. Furthermore, it explores how exception handling can enhance programming style and is particularly crucial in input/output operations where errors are common.

Key Concepts
- -- Exception Handling
- A method to manage runtime errors in a program, allowing developers to respond to errors without crashing the program.
- -- Try Block
- A block of code that is executed and is monitored for exceptions that may occur.
- -- Except Block
- Defines a response for specific types of exceptions that occur within the try block.
- -- Runtime Error
- An error that occurs while the program is running, which may include issues like division by zero or accessing an undefined variable.
- -- KeyError
