The code below output's "Do not divide by zero, that is forbidden" fine when the user inputs zero, however if a sentence or characters are entered it returns a ValueError. The error is as follows:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "exceptions.py", line 5, in <module>
num2 = int(input())
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'Hello World'
The code is from PicoCTF's tutorial section and can be found below:
I have tried changing:
except TypeError:
print("Your input value must be an integer.")
to
except Value Error:
print("Your input value must be an integer.")
num1 = 8
print("Input the number that will divide:")
num2 = int(input())
try:
result = num1 / num2
print(result)
except ZeroDivisionError:
print("Do not divide by zero, that is forbidden.")
except TypeError:
print("Your input value must be an integer.")
print("The program keeps executing to do other stuff...")
however it still does not output the exception I have entered. Am I missing something? For reference I am using picoCTF's internal web shell Thank you all in advance for your support.
The ValueError occurs at the int(...) call. If you want to handle it, you need to add a try: block around that code. For example:
num1 = 8
print("Input the number that will divide:")
num2_str = input()
try:
num2 = int(num2_str)
except ValueError:
print(f"this isn't an integer: {num_str}")
num2 = 0 # or whatever you want the default to be
try:
result = num1 / num2
print(result)
except ZeroDivisionError:
print("Do not divide by zero, that is forbidden.")
except TypeError:
print("Your input value must be an integer.")
print("The program keeps executing to do other stuff...")
