Creating a new ``++Exception++`` without actually raising it has no effect and is probably due to a mistake. == Noncompliant Code Example ---- def func(x): if not isinstance(x, int): TypeError("Wrong type for parameter 'x'. func expects an integer") # Noncompliant if x < 0: ValueError # Noncompliant return x + 42 ---- == Compliant Solution ---- def func(x): if not isinstance(x, int): raise TypeError("Wrong type for parameter 'x'. func expects an integer") if x < 0: raise ValueError return x + 42 ---- == See * https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/errors.html#raising-exceptions[Python documentation - Raising Exceptions]
