Write a function named average(num1, num2) that returns the average i.e. (num1+num2)/2, of the two numbers. If at least one of the arguments num1, num2 is not a numerical value, the function prints “Non-numerical arguments. Cannot compute the average!” in the console and exits without crashing the rest of the program. You should use Python’s exception handling in this task
