Challenge: Robust Division Function

Swipe to show menu

You will create a robust division function in Python that demonstrates comprehensive error handling. The goal is to ensure your function can safely divide two numbers, handle common errors gracefully, and provide clear feedback when something goes wrong.

Task

Swipe to start coding

Write a function called robust_divide that takes two arguments and returns the result of dividing the first by the second, while handling potential errors:

  • If division by zero occurs, return the string "Cannot divide by zero".
  • If either argument is not a number (int or float), return the string "Invalid input type".
  • Otherwise, return the result of the division.

Use only standard Python exception handling techniques.
