Not Sure What they are Asking for Here

For the question:

Finish this

try:
    count = int(input("Give me a number: "))
except ValueError:
    count = 0
____________________:
    return count * 15

What do they want as the answer?

Here is what they are asking for: "else"

Here is why:

Write a small script that will ask the user for a number. Catch errors when the user enters a letter.

try: count = int(input("Give me a number: ")) except ValueError: count = 0 ____________________: return count * 15
