Python Function: Sum with None check

Python None Data Type: Exercise-8 with Solution

Write a Python function that takes two arguments and returns their sum if both aren't None, otherwise return None.

Sample Solution:

Code:

def sum_without_none(a, b):
    if a is not None and b is not None:
        return a + b
    else:
        return None

def main():
    try:
        num1 = 3
        num2 = None
        result = sum_without_none(num1, num2)
        
        if result is None:
            print("At least one argument is None.")
        else:
            print("Sum:", result)
    except Exception as e:
        print("An error occurred:", e)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Output:

Sum: 10
At least one argument is None

In the exercise above, the "sum_without_none()" function checks if both arguments 'x' and 'y' are not 'None'. If they are not 'None', it returns their sum; otherwise, it returns None. The main function demonstrates the function's usage by providing two sample numbers. It prints the sum if both numbers are not 'None', or indicates that at least one argument is 'None'.
