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.

Python
def divide_numbers(a, b):
    """Divide two numbers with error handling for beginners."""
    try:
        result = a / b
        print(f"{a} / {b} = {result}")
        return result
    except ZeroDivisionError:
        print(f"Error: Cannot divide {a} by zero!")
    except TypeError:

How to Use try except ValueError in Python to Parse Numbers

Convert strings to integers safely with try/except ValueError and TypeError, returning a value-or-error tuple.

try-except valueerror error-handling
Python
def parse_number(text):
    """Safely convert a string to an integer, handling errors gracefully."""
    try:
        value = int(text)
        return value, None
    except ValueError as error:
        return None, f"Conversion failed: {error}"
    except TypeError as error:
        return None, f"Wrong type provided…

Split try except ValueError handler for beginners in Python

Demonstrates how to handle ValueError and ZeroDivisionError separately using try/except blocks, with beginner-friendly examples for parsing and division.

Python
def parse_number(text):
    try:
        number = int(text)
        return f"Parsed successfully: {number}"
    except ValueError as error:
        return f"Conversion failed: {error}"

def divide_numbers(dividend, divisor):
    try:
        result = dividend / divisor
        return f"Division result: {result}"
