Mastering Error Handling in Python for Algorithmic Trading 17/100 Days

So in Python basically we have two types of Errors one is syntax error and another is exceptions when we know that which line of code might throw an error so we keep that line of code in the tri block so I’ll keep in this try and so when I hit shift enter it will throw the error that it says no module named error and this is the module not found error right welcome back to the day 17 of the 100 days of hell with python algo trading to be honest with you today is not day 17 in fact it is day 15 and today I have to record multiple videos so that we can avoid skipping any day because today I’m going back to my country for a few days and I don’t want that we break this streak so that’s why I have to put some extra effort and yeah that’s the very basic information so then let’s start with today’s topic that is error handling so in Python basically we have two types of errors one is syntax error and another is exceptions so syntax error happens during compilation means like we are writing the code and at that time if there is some kind of so basically.

We can say that syntax error are grammatical mistake as if you consider python as a language then whatever the grammatical mistake we are making those are the syntax errors and when it comes to the exceptions we can say these are the logical errors so even if we have written all the code correct but what happens during runtime there might be some exceptions which we didn’t think before and those might occur right so that’s a basic difference and let’s Deep dive into this topic let’s understand syntax errors so syntax errors occurs when the python interpreter encounters a code structure that it doesn’t recognize these errors must be fixed before the program can run means as we considered that if python is a language then if we are making any grammatical mistake it would be considered as a syntax error means that python interpretor will not recognize that structure and it will throw a syntax error so let’s say for printing we have the syntax right print and let’s say hello but if somehow we miss this brackets here and we just execute this code then it will throw a syntax error hope you are getting my idea don’t worry we’ll take so many examples but for now just understand the concept so in the context of algo trading synx errors can prevent your trading algorithm from being executed leading to misreading opportunities or other issues so if you make any syntax error then it might happen that when the opportunity comes and at that time your code flows a synx error so.
