In previous example, you learned how to catch the exceptions. But you don't know the type of error that occurred. Every exception has a certain type. The types in the example are ZeroDivisionError, NameError, and TypeError. Type is written in the error message. Consider a different program divide1.py:

def divide1():
    num = int(raw_input("Enter the number "))
    c = 45/num
    print c
divide1()

In the given program, when we give the input from the keyboard, the input string will be converted into int type.

Let's run program with different inputs:

When we give the input 5, then the program returns 9. When we supply a string instead of a number, then the interpreter returns a message with a  ValueError error as highlighted under red line. When number 0 is supplied, then ZeroDivisionError is returned.  By using multiple exception blocks, you can handle both the exceptions.

Refer to the program divide1.py:

 def divide1():
    try:
        num = int(raw_input("Enter the number "))
        c = 45/num         
        print c     
    except ValueError :         
        print "Value is not int type" 
    except ZeroDivisionError : 
       print "Don't use zero" 
    else: 
      print "result is ",c
divide1()

In the preceding program, multiple exceptions have been handled and a crafted message has been displayed. Let's see the output:

In the preceding output, customized messages have been displayed so that the user can understand his mistake.
