Please help me with the following question

Unfortunately the connection to Twitter using our function seems to be pretty spotty.

Can you please help control that messaging to the user of our application?

If there is a CommunicationError raised can you please handle it and output the text:

"An error occurred attempting to connect to Twitter. Please try again!"

Below is the code: """ This is importing a function named tweet from a file that we unfortunately don't have access to change.

You use it like so:

tweet("Hello this is my tweet")

If the function cannot connect to Twitter, the function will raise a CommunicationError If the message is too long, the function will raise a MessageTooLongError """ from twitter import ( tweet, MessageTooLongError, CommunicationError, )

message = input("What would you like to tweet? ")

Your code here

tweet(message): raise CommunicationError("An error occurred attempting to connect to Twitter. Please try again!")
