Python Coding Challange - Question with Answer (01260725)

 

Explanation:

🔸 a = [1, 2]

• A list a is created with two elements:

  
  Index  →  0   1  
  Value  →  1   2

🔸 print(a[5])

• This tries to access the element at index 5, which does not exist.

• The valid indices for list a are 0 and 1.

• So, Python raises an:

  IndexError: list index out of range

🔸 except IndexError:

• This catches the IndexError and runs the code inside the except block.

🔸 print("oops")

• Since an exception occurred, it prints:

  
  oops

---

✅ Output:

oops

---

Key Concept:

• Trying to access an invalid index in a list raises an IndexError.

• try-except helps you gracefully handle such errors without crashing the program.
