Python Essentials – Error Handling & Logging

Error Handling

🔹 Real-Life Analogy: Restaurant Chef

Imagine you’re a chef in a busy restaurant:

1. You have multiple orders to prepare.

2. Sometimes ingredients are missing, or the oven breaks.

3. You cannot just stop cooking because one dish fails.

4. You note everything in a logbook for later review (who ordered what, what went wrong, what worked).

• Error handling = How you respond when something goes wrong (substitute ingredients, skip a dish, call for help).

• Logging = Writing everything in the logbook so you can audit and improve later.

In Python, try/except/finally is your “chef’s decision-making”, and logging is the “logbook”.
