A String is not an Error

Why Error Handling?

• Default behavior for programs is to terminate on an error, or enter the debugger
• Terrible user experience

Why Handle Errors?

• Gracefully Handle Errors (retry connections, re-prompt for user input, etc)
• Non Local Control Flow (Display error messages and screens)
