[Instructor] - In this
self check exercise,

2
00:00:02,130 --> 00:00:05,470
we'd like you to study once
again the try it function

3
00:00:05,470 --> 00:00:08,260
to figure out what's going to be displayed

4
00:00:08,260 --> 00:00:11,920
when this function gets
called with the value 10.7

5
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,420
which is a floating point
number and the string, Python.

6
00:00:15,420 --> 00:00:17,040
So go ahead and pause the video

7
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:18,580
and think about that for a moment,

8
00:00:18,580 --> 00:00:20,283
then come back to see the answer.

9
00:00:24,210 --> 00:00:27,090
Okay, let's take a look at
this function definition.

10
00:00:27,090 --> 00:00:31,840
So if we pass the float value
10.7 into this function,

11
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,460
here we're going to try to
convert that float value

12
00:00:34,460 --> 00:00:36,330
into an integer, which will work

13
00:00:36,330 --> 00:00:38,460
and truncate the floating point part.

14
00:00:38,460 --> 00:00:40,650
So X will become the value ten.

15
00:00:40,650 --> 00:00:42,560
Because this executes successfully,

16
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,470
the except clause would be
skipped, the else clause

17
00:00:45,470 --> 00:00:48,900
however will print that
the integer representation

18
00:00:48,900 --> 00:00:53,900
of 10.7 is ten and then the
finally clause will execute.

19
00:00:54,100 --> 00:00:55,870
So let's stop there for a moment.

20
00:00:55,870 --> 00:00:58,720
We'll define the function
here in our first snippet,

21
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,920
and let's execute the call with 10.7

22
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,960
to confirm the two things
that will be displayed.

23
00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:08,770
Remember, the finally clause
is always going to execute

24
00:01:08,770 --> 00:01:13,230
if the flow of control entered
the corresponding try suite.

25
00:01:13,230 --> 00:01:15,830
So that confirms that here as well.

26
00:01:15,830 --> 00:01:19,750
Now going back up above, if we
call with the string Python,

27
00:01:19,750 --> 00:01:21,630
of course this try suite's statement

28
00:01:23,100 --> 00:01:25,940
will cause a value error exception.

29
00:01:25,940 --> 00:01:27,810
So the try suite will terminate

30
00:01:27,810 --> 00:01:30,440
and will jump immediately
to the except clause.

31
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,350
In this case, it will print out

32
00:01:32,350 --> 00:01:35,210
'Python could not be
converted to an integer.'

33
00:01:35,210 --> 00:01:37,240
The else clause will not execute

34
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,500
because the try suite did
not complete successfully

35
00:01:40,500 --> 00:01:43,240
but the finally clause
will always execute.

36
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,960
So we'll get the except
clause's print statement

37
00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:47,800
and the finally clause's print statement

38
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,330
in this case, and just to confirm that,

39
00:01:50,330 --> 00:01:52,863
you can see that is indeed the case.
