Hi everyone,
I am new to python and have a noob question.
Is it generally better to use try/except/else statements or if/elif/else?
Or, is there a time and place for each?
For a simple example, assume I want a user to enter a number
1) try:
number = float(input('enter a number: ')
except ValueError:
print('enter a number.')
else:
print('you entered a number')
*OR*
*
*
2) number = float(input('enter a number: ')
if number >=0 or < 0:
print('you entered a number')
else:
print('enter a number.')
Thanks for the help.
