Abstract
When writing computer programs, sometimes your program does not execute with the behavior that you were expecting. This can be because of human errors, such as entering incorrect input, or because of environmental issues, such as network communication failures. It can even be because of issues with how the program logic was written. We call these scenarios generated in the program errors, and we call the act of anticipating these errors and taking appropriate actions error handling.
