[Python] How do I test for exceptions in if-statements in python?

i want to write a function to report the different results from another function there are some exceptions among these results but I cannot convert them into if statement

example :

if f(x) raise a ValueError, then my function has to return a string 'Value' if f(x) raise a TypeError, then my function has to return a string 'Type
​

But I don't know how to do this in Python. Can someone help me out.

My Code is like this: -

def reporter(f,x):

if f(x) is ValueError():
return 'Value'
elif f(x) is E2OddException():
return 'E2Odd'
elif f(x) is E2Exception("New Yorker"):
return 'E2'
elif f(x) is None:
return 'no problem'
else:
return 'generic'
