Reading Homework (ch4)
Lesson 11 Video
Overview #
When you write code problems will happen! There is a lot of stuff that is outside of your control such as what the operating system does, the state of the network, or using other engineers’ code. Java has exceptions built into the language to help solve these issues. When your code gets into an unknown state you can throw an exception! When you used other code you may have to catch and exception. Proper exception handling will make the difference between a robust application that will be easy to maintain and a flaky application that is constantly crashing.
