Poikkeusreagoinnin

Poikkeusreagoinnin, also known as exception handling, is a programming technique used to manage and respond to exceptional conditions or errors that occur during the execution of a program. These conditions can be caused by various factors, such as invalid user input, hardware failures, or unexpected changes in the program's environment. By implementing exception handling, developers can create more robust and reliable software that can gracefully recover from errors or provide meaningful feedback to users.

Exception handling typically involves three main components: try, catch, and finally blocks. The try block contains the code that may throw an exception. If an exception occurs within the try block, the program immediately jumps to the corresponding catch block, which contains the code to handle the exception. The finally block, if present, contains code that will always execute, regardless of whether an exception was thrown or not. This is useful for releasing resources or performing cleanup operations.

Different programming languages have their own syntax and mechanisms for exception handling. For example, in Java, exceptions are objects that are thrown and caught using the throw and catch keywords, respectively. In Python, exceptions are handled using the try, except, and finally keywords. By using exception handling, developers can improve the overall quality and user experience of their software.
