Abstract
Every application that we write or use has errors. In most circumstances these bugs are not so major that the application is impossible to use. Some errors which occur when an application runs are so serious that the application cannot continue, for example running out of memory or a failure of the hardware, however sometimes problems do occur when an application runs that we can anticipate and take some corrective action. If, for example, we try to open a file which does not exist an error will occur. You can catch this, display an error message and ask for another filename to be specified.
