Why? Because this is very bad exception handling design. The exception is raised by the call to <code>int<\/code> with a &#8220;non integer convertible&#8221; value, and thus it makes a lot more sense for you to handle it under the definition for num where call to <code>int()<\/code> is made:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"lang-py prettyprint-override\"><code>def num():\n    a = input(\"number: \")\n    try:\n        b = int(a)\n        print(f\"{a} is a number\")\n        return b\n    except ValueError:\n        print(f\"{a} is not a number\")\n\nnum()\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Although this fits your needs, exception handling under the same function is not absolute, and in many cases you might want to pass exceptions around in the program.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mt24\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>            <span class=\"d-none\" itemprop=\"commentCount\">0<\/span> <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<\/p>\n<p>solved My code doesn&#8217;t print what I want it to print <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Functions as Value In python functions are also values, so name num is bound to the function that you defined in the def statement.
