6.10. Optimization Exception
Python 3.11: "Zero-cost" exceptions are implemented, eliminating the cost of try statements when no exception is raised.
Zero Cost Exceptions (43 min)
6.10.1. Check for Permission
>>> class User:
... def __init__(self, name):
... self.name = name
>>>
>>>
>>> alice = User('Alice')
>>>
>>> if hasattr(alice, 'name'):
... print(alice.name)
... else:
... print('Invalid attribute')
Alice
>>>
>>> if hasattr(alice, 'age'):
... print(alice.age)
... else:
... print('Invalid attribute')
Invalid attribute
6.10.2. Ask for Forgiveness
>>> class User:
... def __init__(self, name):
... self.name = name
>>>
>>>
>>> alice = User('Alice')
>>>
>>> try:
... print(alice.name)
... except AttributeError:
... print('No name')
Alice
>>>
>>> try:
... print(alice.age)
... except AttributeError:
... print('Invalid attribute')
Invalid attribute
6.10.3. Multiple Attributes
>>> class User:
... def __init__(self, firstname, lastname, email):
... self.firstname = firstname
... self.lastname = lastname
... self.email = email
>>>
>>>
>>> alice = User('Alice', 'Apricot', email='alice@example.com')
>>>
>>> try:
... print(alice.firstname)
... print(alice.lastname)
... print(alice.email)
... print(alice.age)
... except AttributeError:
... print('Invalid attribute')
Alice
Apricot
alice@example.com
Invalid attribute

# 1. Create function `mean()`, which calculates arithmetic mean
# 2. Function takes arbitrary number of `int` or `float` arguments
# 3. If no arguments are given, the function should raise `ValueError` with message "Invalid argument"
# 4. Non-functional requirements:
# - User will pass only `int` or `float` nothing else
# - Do not import any libraries and modules
# - Use builtin functions `sum()` and `len()`
# 5. Run doctests - all must succeed
# %% Polish
# 1. Napisz funkcję `mean()`, wyliczającą średnią arytmetyczną
# 2. Funkcja przyjmuje dowolną liczbę argumentów `int` lub `float`
# 3. Jeżeli nie podano argumentów, to funkcja powinna podnieść `ValueError` z komunikatem "Invalid argument"
# 4. Wymagania niefunkcjonalne:
# - Użytkownik poda tylko `int` lub `float` nic innego
# - Nie importuj żadnych bibliotek i modułów
# - Użyj wbudowanych funkcji `sum()` i `len()`
# 5. Uruchom doctesty - wszystkie muszą się powieść
# %% Hints
# - `raise ValueError('error message')`
# - `sum(...) / len(...)`
