Question

“Every syntax error is an exception but every exception cannot be a syntax error.” Justify the statement.

Answer 1

Syntax error is an exception because python interpreter is unable to understand the statement you have written. Usually occurs when you have not followed the correct syntax of writing a statement. Even if a statement or expression is syntactically correct, there might arise an error during its execution. For example, trying to open a file that does not exist, division by zero and so on. Such types of errors might disrupt the normal execution of the program and are called exceptions.
