Error and Exception Handling

Implementing error handling best practices allows software to handle failures with control and precision rather than crashing unpredictably. The goal of error handling is to intercept problems at runtime and respond gracefully instead of halting execution. Simpler error handling logic is less likely to generate secondary errors. Writing code without any error handling leaves a program vulnerable to complete failure when anything unexpected occurs. Overly complex error handling introduces its own failure points and makes code harder to maintain. Error and exception handling is the practice of anticipating, catching, and recovering from failures in a program rather than allowing it to crash.
