Question 2

An exception is an object that is raised when an unexpected situation has occurred.

Accepted Answer

An exception is indeed an object that is created and raised by a program or the runtime system in response to an error or an unexpected situation, signaling that something has gone wrong.

Question 3

All raised exceptions should be able to be caught and handled to keep a program executing.

Accepted Answer

Some exceptions, such as hardware failures or critical system errors, may not be catchable or recoverable, and attempting to handle all exceptions could lead to ignoring serious issues.

Question 4

Python contains a predefined set of exceptions called standard exceptions.

Accepted Answer

Python has a hierarchy of built-in exceptions, known as standard exceptions, that can be raised when various errors occur during execution.

Question 5

Exceptions that are thrown by a given function must be caught by the function to gracefully handle errors.

Accepted Answer

Exceptions can be caught by the function that threw them, but they can also be caught by functions higher up in the call stack, allowing for centralized error handling.

Question 6

Exceptions must be caught and handled by the calling code of the function throwing the exceptions.

Accepted Answer

Exceptions can be propagated up the call stack and do not necessarily need to be caught and handled by the immediate calling code of the function throwing the exception. They can be caught at any level in the call stack or not caught at all, leading to program termination.

Question 7

If an exception is thrown all the back to the main module and not handled there, the program terminates.

Accepted Answer

When an exception is thrown and not caught within any method, including the main module, it propagates back through the call stack. If it reaches the main module and is still not handled, the program will terminate.

Question 8

The section of code making a call to any function that raises an exception must be contained in a try suite (block).

Accepted Answer

While it's good practice to handle exceptions using try-except blocks, it's not mandatory for a section of code calling a function that may raise an exception to be contained in a try block. The program will still run but may terminate if the exception is not handled elsewhere.

Question 9

An exception handler is the section of code that is executed when a particular exception type is caught.

Accepted Answer

An exception handler is designed to deal with exceptions that occur during the execution of a program. It is triggered when an exception of the type it is set to handle is caught, allowing the program to respond to error conditions gracefully.
