# ExceptionType

The function **ExceptionType** returns an exception object that is used in the **ExceptionToString** function and **RaiseException** function.

It is simply the type of exception error that has occurred.

Please refer to [ExceptionToString](/statelake/scripting-reference/functions-and-procedures/exception-functions/exceptiontostring) and [RaiseException](/statelake/scripting-reference/functions-and-procedures/exception-functions/raiseexception) for more detailed information about these functions.

**Declaration**: function ExceptionType: TIFException;

An example showing its use within **LogInfo**. In this case it is **divide by Zero**.

```pascal
procedure OnMapEvent(var Value:Variant);
var
  Int1, Int2, Int3 : integer;
begin
 //Try to divide an integer by zero - to raise an exception
 try
    Int1 := 10;
    Int2 := 0;
    Int3 := Int1 / Int2;
 //These lines will execute if no error
    LogInfo('Fabulous!');
    LogInfo('There was no problem encountered!');
 except
    LogInfo('Exception occurred: ' + ExceptionToString(ExceptionType, ExceptionParam));
    LogInfo('');
    Int3 := 100;
    LogInfo('The variable has been set to '+IntToStr(Int3));
 end;
  LogInfo('');
  LogInfo('The Action has completed.');
end;
```
