Abstract
This chapter defines the facilities for dealing with errors or other exceptional situations that arise during program execution. Such a situation is called an exception. To raise an exception is to abandon normal program execution so as to draw attention to the fact that the corresponding situation has arisen. Executing some actions, in response to the arising of an exception, is called handling the exception.
