Error in python

Question

Can someone help me with my bug in my code? This is the part:
#exceptions
something = input() # take an input

try: # do something with the input
something = (int(something)) # if it's not a number it's a ValueError
print(something)
print(someting) # make a mistake
print(movies[something])
except ValueError: # if input isn't a number
print("type in a number")
except IndexError: # if number is too high
print("number must be under 6")
except NameError: # if I used a wrong variable
print("something is wrong with something ;)")

try: # do something with the input
print(something + 1) # if it's not a number it's a TypeError
print(something # another mistake
except TypeError: # if input isn't a number
print("type in a number")
except SyntaxError:
print("There's a bug in the code")

Answer 1

As I understand it, it works like this:

The SyntaxError is raised before the code is executed (when the code is parsed, that is: when it is checked if it is a valid code).

The NameError is only checked at runtime, when the code is executed.

So, the SyntaxError has a special role compared to the other Errors. Whenever a SyntaxError is encomluntered, the code will not be executed at all, and hence, other non-syntactical errors won't be raised.

Answer 2

The first try-except block already raises an exception, and the code is no further interpreted. What behavior do you expect for your code?

Answer 3

I would like to trigger all except blocks for the demo.

Answer 4

I assume that the syntax error has higher precedence than the name error and that's why we're sent to line 129 straight away. I will need to have a closer look when I am free!

Answer 5

Thank you very much! I can wait 😀

Answer 6

Thanks! Is there another way to do what I want or should I just delete it?
