I'm going through the exceptions so I can recall and use the basic ones

*exception *ValueError
Raised when a built-in operation or function receives an argument that has
the right type but an inappropriate value, and the situation is not
described by a more precise exception such as
IndexError<http://docs.python.org/2/library/exceptions.html#exceptions.IndexError>
.
I know you can bring this error up easily with a wrong user input, but
within a program, what would be an example of something that is the "right
type but an inappropriate value"?
import math
print math.sqrt(-1)
