Exercise 9 for review - exceptions

[valentineap]

https://github.com/valentineap/ComputationalGeoscienceCourse/tree/master/Practicals/Exercise%2009%20-%20Exception%20handling

A relatively brief exercise, with more reading than doing. If anyone has any suggestions for additional 'doing' parts, feel free to add them -- but I don't think it's too bad as it stands.

[charlesll]

I added a bit of "doing" parts.

Reading a file, raising an exception if the sum of columns does not sum to 100.

They can also apply that using the information at the end.

[oscarbranson]

Perhaps also include warnings for notifying of non-critical errors (e.g. "chosen option doesn't work, reverting back to default option"?)

[valentineap]

@charlesll Good addition; I modified slightly to remove reference to Numpy. @oscarbranson we can maybe cover warnings once modules are introduced, but I suspect this is a bit advanced for current purposes.

Ready for @rmcgirr94

I thought I’d modified this to make it clearer, but it seems not to have made it into git… will check and push my changes…

I'm a bit confused about what the last exercise is asking:

➤ Try to use this to adapt the code you just implemented in order to start a new calculation on a new array np.array([[1.,99.],[2.,98.],[3.,97.]]) if loading the file fails.

Could someone please explain this to me a little further. Also, we are referencing numpy before introducing it to the course.

OK, now updated. Hopefully clearer; let me know if not.

Thanks @valentineap, much clearer now.

Tested, fixed a typo, closing issue.
