Try...Cach - Error Handling in JavaScript
The try...catch
statement in JavaScript is used for handling errors or exceptions that occur during code execution. It allows you to "try" running a block of code and "catch" any errors that occur, providing a mechanism to gracefully handle them. Here's the syntax:
Components
try
Block: Contains the code that might throw an error.catch
Block: Contains the code to handle the error. Theerror
parameter provides details about the error.finally
Block (Optional): Contains code that will execute after thetry
andcatch
blocks, regardless of whether an error occurred.
Key Points
- Only runtime errors (e.g., syntax is valid but execution fails) are caught.
- The
finally
block is often used for cleanup tasks, like closing connections. - You can rethrow errors in the
catch
block if needed:
