i understand why A and B will be the output and why C and D will not but why E and F are aldo in the output?

the answer to the quiz is in question 1 is ABEF but I don't really understand why: there is no value error or type error so that is clear why those 2 are out, but else print E and F?: can be other ways to answer that are also correct? thank you

When the code is executed it starts at the top and works down each line.
Because except ValueError: and except TypeError: are not executed the else: line prints E
F is printed too as it is after the try: statement has completed.

If there was a ValueError, C would be printed or TypeError, D would be printed instead of E
