JavaScript for beginners - Chapter 25 - JavaScript Error handling (try, catch, finally and throw)

Error handling in javascript:
JavaScript is a loosely-typed language.
It does not give compile time. So some times you will get a runtime error for accessing an undefined variable or calling undefined function etc.
JavaScript provides error-handling mechanism to catch runtime errors using try-catch-finally block, similar to other languages like Java or C#.
Syntax :
try
{
//code that may throw an error
}

catch(ex)
{
// code to be executed if an error occurs
}

finally
{
// code to be executed regardless of an error occurs or not
}

try : wrap suspicious code that may throw an error in try block.
catch : write code to do something in catch block when an error occurs. The catch block can have parameters that will give you error information. Generally catch block is used to log an error or display specific messages to the user.
finally : code in the finally block will always be executed regardless of the occurrence of an error. The finally block can be used to complete the remaining task or reset variables that might have changed before error occurred in try block.
throw : Use throw keyword to raise a custom error.
