Handling errors

Lesson 16 of 29 in Coddy's Calculator project using Python course.

As always raise error in case the input cannot be structured.

Challenge

Easy

Add error handling to struct.

Some examples of the error message formats,

struct(4) -> Failed to structure "4"
struct(['+']) -> Failed to structure "['+']"
struct([2, '+', 3, '+']) -> Failed to structure "[2, '+', 3, '+']"
struct([2, 'mul', '+']) -> ['mul', 2, '+'] (No error)

Try it yourself
