Exceptions

1. Dealing with exceptions

Fill ____ parts of the implementation below. sum_of_list function takes a list as argument and calculates the sum of values in the list. If some element in the list can not be converted to a numeric value, it should be ignored from the sum.

def sum_of_list(values):
    ____ = 0
    for val in values:
        ____:
            numeric_val = float(val)
        ____ ____ as e:
            ____
        ____ += numeric_val
    return ____

  Cell In[1], line 4
    ____:
         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

list1 = [1, 2, 3]
list2 = ['1', 2.5, '3.0']
list3 = ['', '1']
list4 = []
list5 = ['John', 'Doe', 'was', 'here']
nasty_list = [KeyError(), [], dict()]

assert sum_of_list(list1) == 6
assert sum_of_list(list2) == 6.5
assert sum_of_list(list3) == 1
assert sum_of_list(list4) == 0
assert sum_of_list(list5) == 0
assert sum_of_list(nasty_list) == 0

2. Using custom exceptions

Implement verify_short_string function which takes a single string as argument. If the length of the input string is more than ten characters, the function should raise TooLongString exception (note: you have to create TooLongString yourself). The function does not have to return anything.

# Your implementation here

# These should not raise
verify_short_string('short') 
verify_short_string('10   chars')

# This should raise
try:
    verify_short_string('this is long')
except TooLongString as e:
    # This is ok
    pass
else:
    # This means that there was no exception
    assert False
