Day 21: Catching Exceptions Too Broadly

Handling errors is important, but catching everything can hide real problems.

---

❌ The Mistake

try:
  result = 10 / x
except:
   print("Something went wrong")

This catches all exceptions, including ones you didn’t expect.

---

❌ Why This Fails

• Hides the real error

• Makes debugging difficult

• Can mask serious bugs

• Swallows unexpected exceptions

---

✅ The Correct Way

try: result = 10 / x

except ZeroDivisionError:
   print("Cannot divide by zero")

Catch only the exceptions you expect.

---

🧠 Simple Rule to Remember

✔ Catch specific exceptions
✔ Avoid bare except:
✔ Let unexpected errors fail loudly
