Immutability of Tuples and Exception Handling

In Python, once a tuple is created, its values cannot be changed.

Attempting to violate the immutability of a tuple raises a TypeError exception.

To handle errors from modifying a tuple, you can use a try/except statement.

A try/except statement executes the code in the except block if an exception occurs in the try block.

Handling Tuple Immutability Exceptions

my_tuple = (1, 2, 3)

try:
    # Attempt to change the second element
    my_tuple[1] = 5
except TypeError as e:
    # Handle TypeError exception
    print(f"Error occurred: {e}")

In this code, trying to change the second element of the tuple with my_tuple[1] = 5 raises a TypeError.

In the example above, the except block catches the TypeError and prints the error message.
