Can someone help me make sense of this code?

print("A") try: result = "test" + 5 print("B") except ValueError: print("C") except TypeError: print("D") else: print("E") print("F")

Heya Robert! So the code executes from the top down. A is going to print first. Then, entering the try block it is trying to add an integer to a string which would cause a TypeError so it would skip down to the except TypeError and print D. Then it would exit the try block and print F because that, like the first print statement for A, will print no matter what.

Hope this helps!!
