Using exceptions

Exceptions are one of the mechanisms that we can use in Scala to handle error scenarios. It consists of two statements:

• The throw exceptionObject statement stops the current function and passes the exception up to the caller.
• The try { myFunc() } catch { case pattern1 => recoverExpr1 } statement catches any exception thrown by myFunc() if the exception matches one of the patterns inside the catch block:
• If an exception is thrown by myFunc, but no pattern matches the exception, the function stops, and the exception is passed up to the caller again. If there is no try...catch block in the call chain that can catch the exception, the whole program stops.
• If an exception is thrown by myFunc, and the pattern1 pattern matches ...
