23.Suppose you are writing a program where the user is prompted to the
Mark for Review
give coordinates where they believe the princess is inside of the
(1) Points
castle.

Your program moves the prince to the coordinates that the user
specified. If the princess is not found at those coordinates, the user is
given a clue that helps them guess coordinates closer to the princess.
The user is allowed to enter their new guess of where the princess is.

Assume your program does not take into consideration the

possibility that the user may enter coordinates outside of the castle
where the princess could not be. What would be the result of the user
entering coordinates outside of the castle? How could this be handled
in your code?

(Choose all correct answers)

An error would occur. Errors cannot be handled by code.

code. The user would have to restart the program and enter
proper coordinates.
An exception would occur. This could be handled by throwing
an exception in your code if the user enters invalid coordinates.
When the exception is caught, the user could be prompted to
enter coordinates within the given range of the castle. (*)
An exception would occur. This could be handled by throwing
