Let's explore a couple of examples for how to automate error handling in Python. Open up automate_error_handling_part1.py and automate_error_handling_part2.py from the Exercise Files folder. Let's start with automate_error_handling_part1.py. In this example, the goal is to get the user to input a number and perform a calculation with that number. However, there are two potential errors that you could get, the user might enter a non-number value or they might enter zero as the input.
