Eksepsioone

Eksepsioone refers to a concept in programming that deals with unexpected or erroneous conditions that arise during the execution of a program. These conditions, known as exceptions, disrupt the normal flow of instructions. When an exception occurs, the program typically stops its normal processing and enters a special "exception handling" mode.

The primary purpose of exception handling is to allow programs to gracefully manage these unexpected events rather than crashing entirely. This involves detecting the exception, determining its cause, and then executing specific code designed to address the situation. This might involve logging the error, informing the user, attempting to recover from the error, or terminating the program in a controlled manner.

Common programming languages provide mechanisms for defining, throwing, and catching exceptions. A programmer can "throw" an exception when an error condition is met. Other parts of the code can then "catch" this exception using a try-catch block. The code within the catch block is then executed to handle the specific type of exception that was caught. This structured approach helps in writing more robust and reliable software. Without exception handling, errors could lead to unpredictable behavior and data corruption.
