## Introduction to Logging Exceptions

You need a reliable way to track errors in your Python code. Simply printing error messages is not enough—print statements are easy to miss, especially in large or long-running applications. The recommended approach is to use the `logging` module to record exceptions, because it provides a standardized way to capture error details and manage where those messages go.

**In this challenge, you will not use the `logging` module.** Instead, you will use print statements to imitate logging output. By prefixing error messages with `ERROR:`, you can simulate how logging modules format and display error information. This approach helps you understand the importance of structured error reporting and prepares you to adopt the `logging` module in real-world projects.

Logging exceptions ensures that important error information is not lost and can be reviewed whenever necessary. This is a key practice in building reliable, maintainable, and professional Python applications.
