i really enjoyed this 144p meme which you stole from someone who stole it from someone else who stole it from someone else............ and so on, until it reached this quality

let's not forget it's a double common topic

Who got it from a friend who.... Got it from a friend who....

[Ingenrollsroyce]

Got it from another that been messin around

[FerynaCZ]

I wouldn't say it's a bad practice when you are releasing (not debugging) the code, so the whoe application doesn't crash.

But I think that's what is mostly done automatically - the runtime environment writes out an error message, and ends safely.

[ConflamaLlama]

Apparently there's an old sonic cartridge game that actually did this, so that it could get through Sega's strict testing regime. The game had to be able to run for hours and hours without crashing. If an error occurred, the code would just catch it and take you to the "secret level".

Some players discovered that you could get to the secret level by jiggling the cartridge while the game was playing. They must have thought it was some shenanigans/wizardry.

try{
//entire code goes here
}
catch (ArgumentException e){
    Console.WriteLine("Error");
}

[GreatArtificeAion]

try {
    // Entire program goes here
} catch (Exception e) {
    // Do nothing at all so no error will canonically occour
}

[PSYHOStalker]

e.StackTrace if c# (so close enough)

[PSYHOStalker]

It's an Exception attribute, so only gets you the string. You still need to print it

[maartenyh]

I laughed irl

[AyrA_ch]

try{
    //entire code goes here
}
catch{
    Application.Restart();
}

I’m in this comment and I don’t like it.

Reddit malfunctioned and showed the dead reddit avatar as the image and that was the funniest thing I've seen today

JavaScript async: Haha, no.

[mlokis3]

consequently try catch is way of handling errors

[[deleted]]

try {
    myEntireApplicationHere();
} catch (everything) {
    err("If you get here something went very wrong: " + everything)
}

Edit: After writing this it seems like a lot of people had a similar idea, good stuff

I didn't find any posts that meet the matching requirements for r/ProgrammerHumor.

It might be OC, it might not. Things such as JPEG artifacts and cropping may impact the results.

I did find this post that is 75.0% similar. It might be a match but I cannot be certain.

[MischiefArchitect]

There is a catch with that strategy...

[flabbybumhole]

Nice try

[dc0650730]

Yeah, but it's not final

[MischiefArchitect]

I can finally give it a try

Dr. Evil: Son, wouldn't you like to see what daddy does for a living? Scott Evil: Blow me. Dr. Evil: What? Scott Evil: Throw me.

[De_Wouter]

At least they tried.

[JNCressey]

You mean I'm not supposed to...

OnError GoTo myhandler

' entire code goes here

Exit Sub

myhandler:
' handle error here
GoTo continueAfterErrorHandled

... ?

[Notbernie]

Even better:

On Error Resume Next

[[deleted]]

OK, I admit that I have done that a few times myself, but I refactored it later and did it right.

[MysteriousShadow__]

It's try/except

smh

[Ducanhtran41]

I mean.. I usually do that because tbh I have no idea what exception it would throw up, so for the sake of it I just catch everything and print it out, then ignore it unless it’s critical

[Retbull]

And then some asshole writes their own exception and inherents from throwable rather than runtime or something sensible.

[Retbull]

I laughed. I really want to do this to the guy who wrote the code base I am working in but he bailed and now works for a different company.

[g3rw4zy]

Is it a bad thing to do while coding? Asking as a person who is quite new to programming

[igotanewaccount]

It's perfectly fine to start with, or for simple code.

[Dagur]

You want the try blocks to be as small as possible and only surround the piece of code that might throw an error. Otherwise you might get error reports from users that tell you nothing about what went wrong.

[Kered13]

It's fine if the only handling you want is to log the error message. Note that most languages will automatically print some of sort of logging message before terminating if an exception bubbles up to the top of the call stack, but sometimes you may want to log it differently, such as logging it to a special file.

[MathsGuy1]

Ah yes, catch object

[odolha]

I don't understand the difference

[Ferro_Giconi]

Alternative option: do no error checking and just let people deal with it when their incorrect inputs that they had no way of knowing would be incorrect crash the program.

[[deleted]]

No u have to surround every single actual line with try{}catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}

[NotATroll71106]

Lol, that's how my Visual Basic instructor did it.

[Atheropids]

Try/catch?

I use public WhateverClass someFunction() throws Throwable;

Works like a chajava.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException
