What are exceptions in programming languages?

Exceptions are events that disrupt the normal flow of a program's execution, often due to errors.

How do different languages handle exceptions?

Languages like Python use try-except blocks, while Java uses try-catch. Each has its own syntax and rules.

Can you give examples of exception handling in Python and Java?

Sure! In Python, you might write:

try:
    risky_code()
except Exception as e:
    handle_error(e)

In Java, it looks like this:

try {
    riskyCode();
} catch (Exception e) {
    handleError(e);
}

What happens if an exception is not handled?

If an exception is not handled, it can cause the program to crash or terminate unexpectedly.
