Challenge: Documenting Error Handling
In professional Python development, documenting how your code handles errors is just as important as catching or raising exceptions. Clear documentation helps other developers—and your future self—understand what can go wrong and how to respond. This is especially vital for functions that interact with external resources or complex data, where unexpected situations may arise.
Why Document Exception Handling?
Documenting exception handling in your Python code:
- Clarifies which errors may occur;
- Helps others use your code safely;
- Makes maintenance and debugging easier;
- Promotes consistent error handling across projects.
Clear documentation leads to safer and more reliable code.
Swipe to start coding
Write a function read_first_line that takes a string content as an argument. The function should return the first line of the string as a new string. If the input is not a string, the function should raise a FileNotFoundError. If any other exception occurs while processing the input, the function should raise a RuntimeError with an appropriate error message.
Your function must include a docstring that clearly documents:
- Which exceptions may be raised;
- Under what circumstances they are raised;
- How the function handles exceptions internally.
