Handle ValueError and ZeroDivisionError in Python with try except

Learn how to catch ValueError and ZeroDivisionError in Python with a practical safe_divide function and demonstrate error handling for invalid conversions.

Python
def safe_divide(numerator, denominator):
    try:
        result = numerator / denominator
    except ValueError as e:
        print(f"ValueError caught: {e}")
        return None
    except ZeroDivisionError:
        print("Cannot divide by zero!")
        return None
    return result

How to Handle ValueError and Multiple Exceptions in Python

This code demonstrates try/except blocks for beginners, handling ZeroDivisionError, TypeError, and ValueError with two practical functions: dividing numbers and parsing strings to floats.

def divide_numbers(a, b):
    """Divide two numbers with error handling for beginners."""
    try:
        result = a / b

How to handle ZeroDivisionError in Python

Wrap a division operation in try/except to return None or a friendly message instead of crashing when dividing by zero.
