Writing robust code means handling errors gracefully, and Python’s exception system makes this straightforward. Functional programming patterns also help you write cleaner, more expressive code for data transformations.

In this unit, you’ll learn error handling and functional programming in Python. We’ll cover exception handling with try/except blocks, creating custom exceptions, debugging techniques, and functional tools like map, filter, reduce, and list comprehensions.

These skills help you write more reliable, maintainable Python code that handles edge cases gracefully and processes data elegantly.
