try catch from matlab in python in python

The equivalent of try-catch block in Matlab in Python is try-except block. Here is the syntax of try-except block in Python:

main.py
try:
    # code block to be executed
except:
    # code block to be executed in case there's an exception
106 chars
5 lines

Here is an example of how to use try-except block in Python to catch an exception:

main.py
try:
    # division by zero will raise an exception
    x = 1 / 0
except ZeroDivisionError:
    # handle the exception here
    print("Cannot divide by zero")
159 chars
7 lines

In this example, since we're trying to do a division by zero, an exception will be raised. The except block will catch the exception and will print "Cannot divide by zero" on the console.

Note that you can catch different types of exceptions using different except blocks. You can also use a generic except block to catch any type of exception. However, it's a good practice to catch only the exceptions that you're expecting and handle other exceptions in a separate block if needed.
