How do you handle exceptions and create custom exceptions?

Junior Python
Quick Answer Handle exceptions: try/except/else/finally blocks. Catch specific exceptions (except ValueError as e). Custom exceptions: class ValidationError(Exception): pass - inherit from Exception or a more specific base. Add custom attributes in __init__. Re-raise with raise (no args) inside except. Exception chaining: raise NewError() from original_error. Always clean up in finally.

Answer

Use try/except/finally.
Create custom exceptions by subclassing Exception.
raise MyError("msg").
Ensures clean error handling.
