Basic Exception Types in Python

Let's look at some of the main types of exceptions that occur in Python.

An exception of type TypeError is an error that occurs when a variable or parameter has an invalid type. For example, such an exception would occur if you added a string and a number.

An exception of type SyntaxError is an error that occurs when code is not written correctly. This exception also includes IndentationError (incorrect indentation) and TabError (mixed tabs and spaces in indentation).

An exception of type ArithmeticError occurs when there is an arithmetic error in the code. This exception also includes ZeroDivisionError, which occurs when dividing by zero.

There are other types of exceptions. You can read their full description here.
