DartPad Cheetsheet Codelab - 10 - Exceptions

hint.txt

This exercise looks tricky, but it's really one big `try` statement.
Just call `untrustworthy` inside the `try`, and then use `on`, `catch`,
and `finally` to catch exceptions and call methods on the logger.

main.dart

typedef VoidFunction = void Function();

class ExceptionWithMessage {
  final String message;
  const ExceptionWithMessage(this.message);
}

// Call logException to log an exception, and doneLogging when finished.
abstract class Logger {
  void logException(Type t, [String msg]);
  void doneLogging();
}

void tryFunction(VoidFunction untrustworthy, Logger logger) {
  // Invoking this method might cause an exception. Catch and handle
  // them using try-on-catch-finally.
  untrustworthy();
}

solution.dart

typedef VoidFunction = void Function();

class ExceptionWithMessage {
  final String message;
  const ExceptionWithMessage(this.message);
}

abstract class Logger {
  void logException(Type t, [String msg]);
  void doneLogging();
}

void tryFunction(VoidFunction untrustworthy, Logger logger) {
  try {
    untrustworthy();
  } on ExceptionWithMessage catch (e) {
    logger.logException(e.runtimeType, e.message);
  } on Exception {
    logger.logException(Exception);
  } finally {
    logger.doneLogging();
  }
}

class MyLogger extends Logger {
  Type lastType;
  String lastMessage = '';
  bool done = false;
  
  void logException(Type t, [String message]) {
    lastType = t;

  }
  
  void doneLogging() => done = true;

void main() {
  final errs = <String>[];
  var logger = MyLogger();

    tryFunction(() => throw Exception(), logger);
