Encloses a block of code in which an error can occur, and then respond to the error. If any
code in the try code block throws an error (using the throw statement), control passes to the
catch block, if one exists, and then to the finally code block, if one exists. The finally
block is always executed, regardless of whether an error was thrown. If code in the try block
doesn't throw an error (that is, if the try block completes normally), then the code in the
finally block is still executed. The finally block is executed even if the try block exits
using a return statement.
A try block must be followed by a catch block, a finally block, or both. A single try block
can have multiple catch blocks but only one finally block. You can nest try blocks as
many levels deep as necessary.
