Thanks a lot!
Unfortunately, I find it more geared to people with already some knowledge than to newbies.
I found very difficult to understand the simple 'to raise an exception' in layman's terms. It's like we are not speaking English anymore, as the meaning is completely different!!!
You have to keep in mind that I'm not only a newbie in Python, but that I also have no programming background; so some simple things, expressions, commands and the like, while they could be self-explanatory to the programmers' community, it's like an indecipherable new language to me!
Although I was completely taken aback by this:

it was not really that bad, when I opened it, although still an indecipherable message to me!
I thank you for pointing it out to me, as it could be great when I learn more.
All the best,

It's preferred/recommended to use built-in types of exception if they fit your needs
Thanks again!
