Try-Except Demo in Python

This repository contains a collection of simple examples demonstrating how to use try-except blocks in Python. The code explores how exception handling works, when to use it, and what can go wrong if it's misused.

Purpose

This project was built as part of the Portofolio Build assignment in the Data Science Bootcamp at Purwadhika Digital Technology School. It aims to reinforce the importance of proper error handling in real-world programs.
