Algorithm:

The following algorithm is used to display the exception that occurs in the code:

  • • Initially, declare the “try” suite.
  • • Declare the “float” function and pass the argument “abc123” into the function; then, initialize it to the variable “x”.
    • ○ If exception does not occur in the “try” suite, then it displays that print statement.
  • • Declare an exception named “IOError” to handle the non-existing files that may occur in the “try” suite.
    • ○ Display a specified “IOError” except clause statement on the screen when “IOError” occurs in the “try” suite.
  • • Declare an exception named “ValueError” to handle the non-numeric data passed as an argument in the “float” function that may occur in the “try” suite.
    • ○ Display a specified “ValueError” except clause statement on the screen when “ValueError” occurs in the “try” suite.
  • • Display the “end” statement after exception handled in a code.

What will the following code display?try:x = float('abc123')print(x)except IOError:print('This code caused an IOError.')except ZeroDivisionError:print('This code caused a ZeroDivisionError.')except:print('An error happened.')print('The end.')
switch_player(): we will allow the players to choose their own names, but for our purposes, it is easier to think of them as number (0 and 1, for indexing purposes). We will display their names to them on the screen, but in the background, we will keep track of them based on their number. This function should take 1 argument, an integer (either 0 or 1) representing the player and should return the opposite integer (1 if 0 is entered and 0 if 1 is entered). This is a simple function, but it will make our code cleaner later. Use your constants!  Using Thonny
X609: Magic Date A magic date is one when written in the following format, the month times the date equals the year e.g. 6/10/60. Write code that figures out if a user entered date is a magic date. The dates must be between 1 - 31, inclusive and the months between 1 - 12, inclusive. Let the user know whether they entered a magic date. If the input parameters are not valid, return false. Examples: magicDate(6, 10, 60) -> true magicDate(50, 12, 600) –> false
