Question

I just need a few sentences on the following question pertaining to Python:

In your opinion, is it important to handle exceptions in your programs and why?

Answer 1

Exception handling is important because it helps maintain the normal, desired flow of the program even when unexpected events occur. If exceptions are not handled, programs may crash or requests may fail. This can very frustrating for customers and if it happens repeatedly, you could lose those customers.

Many programmers “solve” this problem by simply ignoring it—errors are “reported” when their programs crash. Note that exceptions don't spare you the effort of doing the work of detecting, reporting, and handling errors, but they do help you organize the work more effectively.
