How to hide default error message(Traceback) in python

Question

I wanted to know how to hide errors in python: Let's say I made a calculator and then typed:

if number1 != int:
     print("NaN")

But it will print this message and give out the error which is built into python which is: Traceback (most recent call last):

but how do I hide this Traceback error and only show the error message which is "NaN"

Thank you for the answer.

Even though you are talking about try...except, the following statement makes no sense.

You telling python to compare 1 to data type int

if number1 != int: print("NaN")

If you want to check a particular data type, use isinstance(<variable>,<data type>)

if isinstance(number1,int): print("NaN")

You can use try...except method to catch various errors:

try:
    number1=int(input("Enter a number: "))
    ...
except ValueError:
    print("NaN")

Note that this will catch only ValueError. If you want to catch all errors, use except Exception or except:
