Overview:


Just as in life, you can't presume that everything in your program will always run smoothly--so you must handle all possible error conditions in your code. This sounds simple enough, but handling errors and failure cases is hard work. It bogs programming down in the mundane details of the real world. Every line of code you write must be balanced by appropriate and thorough error checking and handling. In this sample chapter from Code Craft: The Practice of Writing Excellent Code, explore the types of errors you can expect to encounter, how to deal with errors correctly, how to raise errors, and how to program in the face of uncertainty.
