User-defined exceptions are custom exceptions created to handle specific error conditions not covered by Python's built-in exceptions, enhancing code readability and maintainability. The document provides a basic syntax for defining a custom exception and an example of a DivisionByZeroError. It also lists several programs that can be implemented using user-defined exceptions, such as age validation and password validation.

User-defined exceptions are custom exceptions that you create to handle specific error conditions in your application

that aren't covered by Python's built-in exceptions.


Why Use User-Defined Exceptions?
1. To create application-specific error types
2. To provide more meaningful error messages
3. To handle specific error conditions in your domain
4. To make your code more readable and maintainable

Basic Syntax:

class CustomError(Exception):
"""Base class for other custom exceptions"""
pass

Example:

Division by Zero (Custom)

class DivisionByZeroError(Exception):
pass

def divide(a, b):


if b == 0:
raise DivisionByZeroError("Cannot divide by zero")
return a / b

Explanation
class DivByZeroError(Exception):
 This line defines a custom exception class called NegativeSalaryError.
 It inherits from Python’s built-in Exception class, meaning it behaves like any other exception (e.g.,
ValueError, TypeError) but with a custom name and purpose.
 pass:
It simply means “do nothing.” We don't need to add anything special to the class right now. The base
Exception behavior is enough.

raise DivisionByZeroError("Cannot divide by zero")

 If the condition is true (i.e., salary is negative), this line raises the custom exception NegativeSalaryError.
 The message "Salary cannot be negative" is passed to the exception and will be shown when the
exception is caught or printed.

Programs to be implemented:
1. Age Validation
2. Password Validation (Length, numeric and special characters)
3. Invalid Email Format
4. Invalid Phone Number
5. File Extension Check
6. Invalid Input Type
7. Invalid PIN Code
