Exception Handling Syntax

Exception handling syntax varies between programming languages, partly to cover semantic differences but largely to fit into each language's overall syntactic structure. Some languages do not call the relevant concept 'exception handling'; others may not have direct facilities for it, but can still provide means for implementing it.

Famous quotes containing the words exception and/or handling:

    There are those who would build the Temple,
    And those who prefer that the Temple should not be built.
    In the days of Nehemiah the Prophet
    There was no exception to the general rule.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Madam, a circulating library in a town is as an evergreen tree of diabolical knowledge; it blossoms through the year. And depend on it ... that they who are so fond of handling the leaves, will long for the fruit at last.
    Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)
