# Month Name Handling Continuing on from the previous exercise [Modify Month Name](modify-month-name.md), implement a validation loop with `try/except` to handle the error raised by your modified `month_name` function. ## What you should do 1. Create a `main` function to ask the user for a month number. 2. Attempt to pass the choice to the `month_name` function even if it is an invalid month number. 3. Take note of the error that it causes when given an invalid month number and set up a `try/except` structure to handle that particular error. In the except, simply state that the option they entered was invalid. 4. Use a loop to force the user to enter a valid number. It should not quit until they enter one. ``` Enter a month number: 55 Invalid number. Pick 1-12 Enter a month number: 13 Invalid number. Pick 1-12 Enter a month number: 0 Invalid number. Pick 1-12 ... ``` 5. Include in your `try/except` the ability to handle the error that occurs when the user enters a string value instead of a valid `int`. --- ©2021 Daniel Gallo
