Medium Exception Handling in OOP

Problem Statement

Create a `User` class. In its `__init__` method, if the `age` is less than 18, raise a `ValueError` with the exact message ‘Underage’. Otherwise, set the attribute. Wrap the instantiation in a try-except block and print the error message or ‘User Created’.

Input Format

A single integer.

Output Format

Print the outcome.

Constraints

None

Sample Input

Sample Output

Underage

Explanation

Constructors should validate data and halt object creation by raising exceptions if invalid state is detected.

Starter Code

class User:
    # Define __init__ with validation
    pass

if __name__ == '__main__':
    age = int(input())
    # Instantiate safely
    pass
