Is a ValueError a Runtime Error? Understanding Python Exception Types

18 Replies, 1933 Views

Wow, thanks for all the insights, folks! I think I get it now—is a valueerror a runtime error? Yes, it is, and it’s more about the data than the code itself.

I tried using PyCharm’s debugger like some of you suggested, and it’s been a game-changer. Also, the Python docs were super helpful for understanding the nuances.

One follow-up question though—how do you decide when to raise a custom exception vs. using built-in ones like ValueError? Is it just a matter of preference, or are there best practices?

Cheers again for all the help!
