Here's why:
* Semicolons in Python: Semicolons are optional in Python, used to separate multiple statements on a single line. However, they are rarely used and generally discouraged for readability.
* `except` Keyword: The `except` keyword is used in Python's `try...except` block to handle exceptions (errors) that might occur during the execution of the code within the `try` block. It is a keyword and not a statement, so semicolons are not applicable.
Example:
```python
try:
# Some code that might raise an exception
result = 10 / 0 # This will raise a ZeroDivisionError
except ZeroDivisionError:
print("You cannot divide by zero!")
```
Key Points:
* Semicolons are unnecessary and can make code harder to read.
* `except` is a keyword used to handle exceptions in `try...except` blocks.
Always prioritize clear and readable code!
