Chapter 16.1, Problem 1STE
Program Plan Intro
Exception:
An exception is a problem that creates during the execution of a program; it offers a method to transfer control from one part to another part of a program.
An exception handling is created by using the following three keywords such as try, catch and throw.
- The “try” block have the program for the basic
algorithm that says the computer what to do when all goes well. - The “throw” keyword throws an error statement to the “catch” block.
- The “catch” block will catch the exception or handling the exception.
Generally, the compiler executes “try” block. In the “try” block, if the statements cause an exception, it throws an error statement to the “catch” block using the keyword “throw”. The “catch” block then handles the error based upon the type of exception.

Write a program that prompts the user to enter a person's date of birth in numeric form such as 8-27-1980. The program then outputs the date of birth in the form: August 27, 1980. Your program must contain at least two exception classes: invalidDay and invalidMonth. If the user enters an invalid value for day, then the program should throw and catch an invalidDay object. Similar conventions for the invalid values of month and year. (Note that your program must handle a leap year.)
There is no maximum number of arguments that may be used inside a catch block since this kind of block does not have a parameter restriction.
There is no limit on the amount of arguments in a catch block.

- There is no maximum number of arguments that may be used inside a catch block since this kind of block does not have a restriction.arrow_forwardPYTHON: A pedometer treats walking 2,000 steps as walking 1 mile. Write a steps_to_miles() function that takes the number of steps as a parameter and returns the miles walked. The steps_to_miles() function throws a ValueError object with the message "Exception: Negative step count entered." when the number of steps is negative. Complete the main() program that reads the number of steps from a user, calls the steps_to_miles() function, and outputs the returned value from the steps_to_miles() function. Use a try-except block to catch any ValueError object thrown by the steps_to_miles() function and output the exception message. Output each floating-point value with two digits after the decimal point, which can be achieved as follows:print('{:.2f}'.format(your_value)) Ex: If the input of the program is: 5345 the output of the program is: 2.67 Ex: If the input of the program is: -3850 the output of the program is: Exception: Negative step count entered.arrow_forwardNo restriction exists on the number of arguments permitted in a catch block.arrow_forward
- PARTICIPATION ACTIVITY Arrange the following lines to make a program that determines when the number of people in a restaurant equals or exceeds 10 occupants. The program continually gets the number of people entering or leaving the restaurant. Ex: 2 means two people entered, and -3 means three people left. After each input, the program outputs the number of people in the restaurant. Once the number of people in the restaurant equals or exceeds 10, the program exits. If an Input MismatchException exception occurs, the program should get and discard a single string from input. Ex: The input "2 abc 8" should result in 10 occupants. Not all lines are used in the solution.

Lowercase letters are acceptable (a,b, or c) Create a try-catch structure to handle three (3) exceptions. These are when theuser inputs the following:o An invalid letter (not A, B or C)o A number or any special character.o Blank (no answer).

- Python Code: Write a function that takes a single number as an argument: 1) This function should then check whether a number is an even number (2,4,6,8) and raise an exception if otherwise 2) Call this function with an uneven number first without catching the exception and then with catching the exception and printing a warning to the user afterwards Bonus: Do the same as the above but instead implement your solution for prime numbers and call the function with a non-prime numberarrow_forwardmain.py Load default template... 1 # Define your method here 2 3 if main ': name 4 # Type your code here.arrow_forwardComplete the following tasks: Write an exception handler to catch ValueError and output 'float(): Input is not a float.'

- Q1) The following snippet of code inputs an integer and outputs it:int num=0;Scanner kbd = new Scanner(System.in);num = kbd.nextInt();System.out.println(num);Run this program but enter text instead of an integer. The programshould crash and tell you what kind of exception was thrown by thenextInt method. Wrap this code inside a try/catch block where youcatch the exception that is thrown. Add a loop so the user must enterthe number again if text is entered.Q2) The following class maintains an account balance and returns a special error code.public class Account{private double balance;// returns new balance or -1 if errorpublic double deposit(double amount){if (amount > 0)balance += amount;elsereturn -1; // Code indicating errorreturn balance;}}Rewrite the class so that it throws appropriate exception instead ofreturning -1 as an error code.

The square_root() function throws a ValueError object with the message "Exception: Negative input for square root entered." when the number is negative. Complete the main() program that reads a number from a user, calls the square_root() function, and outputs the returned value from the square_root() function. Use a try-except block to catch any ValueError object thrown by the square_root() function and output the exception message. If the user enters something other than an integer, the program throws a ValueError object with the message "invalid literal for int() with base 10: " and 'user_input'. Output each floating-point value with two digits after the decimal point, which can be achieved as follows: print('{:.2f}'.format(your_value)) Example: If the input is 100 the output is 10.00 Example: If the input is -55 the output is Exception: Negative input for square root entered.
