 An exception is an error condition or any abnormal condition in

the program and disrupts the normal flow of the program.

 When we try to open a file ,if it does not exist, the exception will
be raised and handled by the system itself.
 There are three types of errors:-

Syntax errors

Runtime errors

Logical errors
Syntax Errors :-

Those errors which appear when we write the wrong syntax.

Runtime Errors:-

Those errors which appear only when we compile and run our
code.

 Logical Errors:-

Those errors which appear when we use the application, but

producing wrong results.
Some of the system defined Exceptions are:-
Exception- This is the base class for all exceptions.
IndexoutofRange- This is raising when we try to access the
element of an array, which is out of range.
NullReferenceException- It raises when null object is referenced.
ArgumentException- It raises when the arguments to the method
are not valid.
 ArithmeticException- It raises when the arithmetic operation
results an infinite output.
SYNTAX:-
Try
{
<statements>
[catch[exception as type]]
[catch[exception as type]]
[catch[exception as type]]
[finally
[finally statements]]
End Try
( Try block has to be followed by either catch or finally
block. Even both can be allowed in a single block. The
exceptions need to be caught by using try-catch , try –
finally , and try-catch-finally block.)

 Throw:- Using this, we can explicitly throw the exception

. It is helpful for throwing user defined exception also.

Try
If Asc(c) < 65 Or Asc(c) > 90 Then
Throw New ArithmeticException
End If
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox("exception caught first
letter must be capital")
End Try
End Sub
End Class
 In some situation ,users also have to create their own exception
other than the defined ones. These exceptions are called user
defined exception.

 Users can catch the specific type of exception instead of

generic exception .

 Our own exceptions must inherit from system . Exception class
