00:00:00,550 --> 00:00:02,100
- [Instructor] In this
self-check exercise,

2
00:00:02,100 --> 00:00:05,400
I'd like you to take a
look at the try it function

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:09,560
and figure out before you
execute the code down below

4
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:14,560
what is going to be displayed
if we pass this function 10.7

5
00:00:14,930 --> 00:00:16,630
and what is going to be displayed

6
00:00:16,630 --> 00:00:19,600
if we pass this function,
the string Python.

7
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,530
So, just to show you down below here,

8
00:00:21,530 --> 00:00:23,480
we're going to define the same function

9
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:24,430
that you see here,

10
00:00:24,430 --> 00:00:25,730
and then, we're going to call it

11
00:00:25,730 --> 00:00:27,140
with those two values.

12
00:00:27,140 --> 00:00:29,800
So, pause the video and think
about that for a moment,

13
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,733
and then come back to see the answer.

14
00:00:36,650 --> 00:00:39,180
Okay, let's go ahead
and define the function,

15
00:00:39,180 --> 00:00:41,630
and before I execute
the next two snippets,

16
00:00:41,630 --> 00:00:43,000
let's talk about this.

17
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,260
So, we're going to first
pass in the value 10.7,

18
00:00:46,260 --> 00:00:49,030
which we will receive
as the parameter value.

19
00:00:49,030 --> 00:00:52,060
We're going to convert
that floating point value

20
00:00:52,060 --> 00:00:53,160
into an integer,

21
00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:56,550
so the value 10 will get assigned to x.

22
00:00:56,550 --> 00:00:59,630
Because that's going to
be a valid conversion,

23
00:00:59,630 --> 00:01:01,700
this except clause will be skipped,

24
00:01:01,700 --> 00:01:03,920
and we'll jump down to the else clause

25
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,660
to print that the integer representation

26
00:01:06,660 --> 00:01:08,650
of 10.7 is,

27
00:01:08,650 --> 00:01:10,330
and then we'll display 10.

28
00:01:10,330 --> 00:01:12,930
So, let's go ahead and
execute that just to confirm.

29
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,430
And indeed, the integer representation

30
00:01:16,430 --> 00:01:18,600
of 10.7 is 10.

31
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,690
Now, let's talk about the string Python.

32
00:01:20,690 --> 00:01:24,580
So, that string will be
assigned to the parameter value.

33
00:01:24,580 --> 00:01:27,610
When we try to convert
that to an integer, hell...

34
00:01:27,610 --> 00:01:30,670
or Python, excuse me,
is not a valid integer.

35
00:01:30,670 --> 00:01:33,410
So, this will result in a value error.

36
00:01:33,410 --> 00:01:36,150
The try suite will terminate,

37
00:01:36,150 --> 00:01:39,610
so if there were additional
statements after this one,

38
00:01:39,610 --> 00:01:41,610
they would not execute.

39
00:01:41,610 --> 00:01:43,900
We'll jump to the first except handler,

40
00:01:43,900 --> 00:01:46,120
which matches the type of exception

41
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,520
that's going to be thrown,

42
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,200
and in that case, we will display

43
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,660
10.7 could not be converted to an integer.

44
00:01:52,660 --> 00:01:55,060
The else clause will not execute,

45
00:01:55,060 --> 00:01:57,060
and the function will terminate.

46
00:01:57,060 --> 00:01:59,160
So, let's just try that to make sure,

47
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,360
and indeed, we get Python
could not be converted

48
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:03,283
to an integer.
