You can raise exceptions in several ways by using the raise statement. The general syntax for the raise statement is as follows −

Syntax

raise [Exception [, args [, traceback]]]

Here, Exception is the type of exception (for example, NameError) and argument is a value for the exception argument. The argument is optional; if not supplied, the exception argument is None.

The final argument, traceback, is also optional (and rarely used in practice), and if present, is the traceback object used for the exception.

Example

An exception can be a string, a class or an object. Most of the exceptions that the Python core raises are classes, with an argument that is an instance of the class. Defining new exceptions is quite easy and can be done as follows −

def functionName( level ): if level <1: raise Exception(level) # The code below to this would not be executed # if we raise the exception return level

Note − In order to catch an exception, an "except" clause must refer to the same exception thrown either as a class object or a simple string. For example, to capture the above exception, we must write the except clause as follows −

try: Business Logic here... except Exception as e: Exception handling here using e.args... else: Rest of the code here...

The following example illustrates the use of raising an exception −

 
def functionName( level ): if level <1: raise Exception(level) # The code below to this would not be executed # if we raise the exception return level try: l=functionName(-10) print ("level=",l) except Exception as e: print ("error in level argument",e.args[0])

This will produce the following output −

error in level argument -10
