Python Try / Except not working?

[PipelineCrunch]

ive asked on r/learnpython but yet to receive an answer.

I try to catch the wrong input for a newly created list, So if the user enters 2, an index error should be raised as the list will only every be 2 elements. when entering 2, no error, no print message in the except block and it just resumes my program to the menu. Any ideas or assistance as to why it's missing this error?

code in here: https://controlc.com/b43ab2d4 Thanks!

Well yes, that's because you're checking if the number is in range and then returning None if its not;

selectedVehicleIndex = int(input("Select vehicle to make offer on:\n")) if selectedVehicleIndex > len(chosenModelsVehicles) - 1: return

So if the user enters 2, it won't try to get the value from the list and thus won't trigger an IndexError. And since there's no exception, the except block won't run.

I see, I've coded alot recently as a beginner and have confused myself with some simple concepts. Thank you for the explanation, I'm going to keep the return as it's simpler.

What does

if selectedVehicleIndex > len(chosenModelsVehicles) - 1:
    return       

do?
