What’s the difference between exit(0) and exit(1) in Python?
I tried looking around but didn’t find a specific question on these lines. If it’s already been answered, a link would be sufficient.
0 and 1 are the exit codes.
exit(0)means a clean exit without any errors / problemsexit(1)means there was some issue / error / problem and that is why the program is exiting.This is not Python specific and is pretty common. A non-zero exit code is treated as an abnormal exit, and at times, the error code indicates what the problem was. A zero error code means a successful exit.
This is useful for other programs, shell, caller etc. to know what happened with your program and proceed accordingly.
