Python: Iteration and Exceptions Overview/Description Target Audience Prerequisites Expected Duration Lesson Objectives Course Number Expertise Level Overview/Description
Iterations and exceptions are nuanced in Python, and so it is important to fully understand how they work in order to produce quality software. In this course, you will learn about comprehensions, a powerful, concise syntax for creating iterable objects. The course also covers iteration and iterables, and exception handling.
