Program Plan Intro
Exception Handling
Program Plan:
- • Declare a function named “main()”.
- ○ Declare the variable “amount” and assign “0.0” for this variable.
- ○ Declare the variable “value” and assign “0.0” for this variable.
- ○ Declare the variable “count” and assign “0”for this variable.
- ○ Declare a “try” suite.
- ○ Open the file named “numbers.txt” that is available in disk to read the numbers in the file and store the numbers in the variable “inputfile”.
- ○ Use the “for” loop to perform the iteration.
- ■ Increment “count” variable to count the iteration of the loop.
- ■ Convert the “integer” number stored in the variable “number” to “float” number and assign it to the variable “value”.
- ■ Add all the values and assign the total to the variable “amount”.
- ○ Close the file “numbers.txt”.
- ○ Calculate the average.
- ○ Display the average of the numbers stored in the variable “average”.
- ○ If the file named “numbers.txt” is not available in the disk, then it branches to the “IOError” except clause and print the exception handling statement.
- ○ If the file “numbers.txt” holds the “string” value, then it branches to the “ValueError” except clause and print the exception handling statement.
- ○ Rather than the above two exceptions, any other exception occurs in the “try” suite; then, it branches to the last “except” clause.
- ○ Call the function “ main()”.

- Briefly describe what an exception is.arrow_forwardPARTICIPATION ACTIVITY Arrange the following lines to make a program that determines when the number of people in a restaurant equals or exceeds 10 occupants. The program continually gets the number of people entering or leaving the restaurant. Ex: 2 means two people entered, and -3 means three people left. After each input, the program outputs the number of people in the restaurant. Once the number of people in the restaurant equals or exceeds 10, the program exits. If an Input MismatchException exception occurs, the program should get and discard a single string from input. Ex: The input "2 abc 8" should result in 10 occupants. Not all lines are used in the solution.
