EOFError is raised when one of the built-in functions input() or raw_input() hits an end-of-file condition (EOF) without reading any data. This error is sometimes experienced while using online IDEs. This occurs when we have asked the user for input but have not provided any input in the input box. We can overcome this issue by using try and except keywords in Python. This is called as Exception Handling.

Example: This code will generate an EOFError when there is no input given to the online IDE.

Python3




n = int(input())
print(n * 10)
 






                        










Output:




This exception can be handled as:

How to Fix "EOFError: EOF when reading a line" in Python

                
The EOFError: EOF when reading a line error occurs in Python when the input() function hits an "end of file" condition (EOF) without reading any data. This is common in the scenarios where input() expects the user input but none is provided or when reading from the file or stream that reaches the EOF unexpectedly.

Python | Raising an Exception to Another Exception

                
Let's consider a situation where we want to raise an exception in response to catching a different exception but want to include information about both exceptions in the traceback. To chain exceptions, use the raise from statement instead of a simple raise statement. This will give you information about both errors. Code #1 : def example(): try: in

TypeError is one among the several standard Python exceptions. TypeError is raised whenever an operation is performed on an incorrect/unsupported object type. For example, using the + (addition) operator on a string and an integer value will raise a TypeError. ExamplesThe general causes for TypeError being raised are: 1.

Handling OSError exception in Python

                
Let us see how to handle OSError Exceptions in Python. OSError is a built-in exception in Python and serves as the error class for the os module, which is raised when an os specific system function returns a system-related error, including I/O failures such as "file not found" or "disk full". Below is an example of OSError: Python Code # Importing

Handling a thread's exception in the caller thread in Python

                
Multithreading in Python can be achieved by using the threading library. For invoking a thread, the caller thread creates a thread object and calls the start method on it. Once the join method is called, that initiates its execution and executes the run method of the class object. For Exception handling, try-except blocks are used that catch the ex
