Courses Plus Student 4,718 Pointsthe question is "To call a throwing function we need to mark it with a certain keyword to indicate that this function?"
It says the answer to this is 'try' but that doesn't seem right to me isn't the answer 'throws'?

Python Development Techdegree Student 36,887 PointsHi Matthew
Nope, it's try
. Note that the question is asking about calling the function. try
is the keyword we use to tell the compiler that the function we are calling can return an error. throws
is used in the function declaration, and throw
is used to indicate exiting out of the function.
Hope that's clear
Cheers
