This is one of the clearest and well explained videos I seen on youtube related to Javascript. Thank you.

[@justindglee]

Totally agree

[@msfkmsfk]

I agree.

[@msfkmsfk]

@@justindglee I agree lol.

[@EvilTim1911]

Great stuff, straight to the point and explained through practical examples instead of needless theory. Thank you

[@LordMarcus]

You, I love you. Just found you at random. Your videos are clear and concise and seem to always be about a specific point.

[@truth-12345.]

The clearest explanation of error handling in JavaScript

[@beenyshsaeed4559]

Lucidly explained for a layman like me. Well done!

[@andriciandu]

This is a great explanation. Hats off to you, sir ^^

[@nwobodogeorge5370]

Thank you, the video very brief and straight to the point. Thank you once more.

[@Krenil.]

// error handling use the following keyword:
// 1.try => lets you check the code for errors
// 2.catch => lets you handle the error
// 3.throw => lets you create a custom error
// 4.finally => lets you execute code after try and catch regardless of all the result

[@leonardopinheiro6693]

Very good tutorial!
Thank you!

[@ansignia]

This video makes so much more sense than the MDN documentation.

[@laurachacha17]

Absolutely incredible explanation! I should give you all of my tuition!

[@jakemertz2660]

Very good content. Also very good diction. Thank you :)

[@Isra-p1]

Awesome Beau, thanks!

[@gorkemgok9313]

You explain very clearly.

[@JoseBarakat]

Muy buen video. Buena calidad de audio/video. Codepen en pantalla completa con buen tamaño de fuente. Viéndolo desde mi celular. Muy buen ritmo para explicar, buena pedagogía. Menos de 5 minutos, buen tiempo, suficiente información. Tema explicado y entendido de forma satisfactoria. Gracias.

[@kierachelsea2601]

great explanation, thanks!!!

[@mahathirmohammadshuvo9358]

You're great at teaching!

[@ajai.a2374]

Thank you!!

[@webapplicationguide3798]

Thank You !!

[@kennycol1234]

you beautiful human being!, you.
This was exactly the explanation I needed, kudos to you!

[@corykemp1256]

Quick question: would it be more appropriate to throw q referenceerror vs a syntaxerror in your example?

[@GilisFansClub]

thank you so much!

[@threeone6012]

Outstanding!

[@mattyblake9427]

clear and awesome

[@manuchehrmukhidinov7111]

Thank you.

[@christopherjohncali5237]

Hey, Mr. Carnes. Great video. Question: do you have to rely on any dependencies to run this code? Like a unit testing library/module or something? Thanks so much.

[@coolbrotherf127]

I'm no expert, but to my knowledge this code is very standard JavaScript so it should just work without anything extra.

[@MichaelShingo]

No, try/catch/finally comes built into javascript

[@license2Bort]

Fantastic Video!

[@RoyerAdames]

Thank you

[@kebman]

try {comprehend} catch{ball} throw{nothing to throw, it got me in the eye}

[@eddawry]

its clear bro

[@akshayvanil9342]

Great stuff

[@nicolas.mellado]

I have a better idea of throw now, thanks!

[@beenyshsaeed4559]

Throw it already. :p

[@soundweaver923]

How does js connects the "message" with what's written inside the parenthesis?? There's no var or something attributed to "message"...is it one of those standardised things?

[@daveplummer3441]

Thanks for the very clear explanation, but I'm trying to trap an error in the following document write statement (when the file doesn't exist). Evidently it is not throwing any error to detect when the file does is not found, any ideas?
document.write('')

[@zurriyotbeknabiev1190]

thanks!!!

[@fregina3813]

thx a lot

[@K1ethoang]

Well explained video

[@blyfo]

Hi, if when throwing an error it jumps to the catch() method*(skipping the console.log), how do you throw multiple errors?

[@jbarriossandrea]

debugging your current error.

[@mjylove2]

this is amazing video

[@keerthi6205]

It will be more useful if the subtitles are included.

[@Abhay.Bhandari]

is err predefined keyword or its a user defined variable?

[@m7mdnho154]

amazing video. although it made me think that I might actually be colorblind

[@leeeric6292]

But what is the point using the "finally" block，it seems there is no difference I just simply using a console log statement.

[@stevenarmoo7011]

where did he get the (e) from tho... I can't seem to find it anywhere else in the code?

[@verquo]

It's a parameter. If there's an error, E will contain the error message, then you can work this error object

[@joe-un1ky]

More helpful answer: catch automatically 'creates' the e object, but you have to enter it into the parentheses to be able to use it.
It is a bit odd - don't think too deeply into it

[@bertt1055]

Would help newbies if it was indicated that "SyntaxError" is actually a JS object

[@chrischong8286]

I don't see the point of finally.

[@Alexander-qg2tb]

Если в секции try будет return, то произойдет выход из функции и тот код который после catch не выполнится. Finally гарантирует, что код внутри обязательно отработает

Now i got a better view

[@ru.hend_]

try {
try {
try {
try {
try {
try {
try {
try {
try {
try {
throw new Error("Error level 10");
} catch (errorLevel10) {
console.error("Error level 10: ", errorLevel10.message);
throw new Error("Error level 9");
}
} catch (errorLevel9) {
console.error("Error level 9: ", errorLevel9.message);
throw new Error("Error level 8");
}
} catch (errorLevel8) {
console.error("Error level 8: ", errorLevel8.message);
throw new Error("Error level 7");
}
} catch (errorLevel7) {
console.error("Error level 7: ", errorLevel7.message);
throw new Error("Error level 6");
}
} catch (errorLevel6) {
console.error("Error level 6: ", errorLevel6.message);
throw new Error("Error level 5");
}
} catch (errorLevel5) {
console.error("Error level 5: ", errorLevel5.message);
throw new Error("Error level 4");
}
} catch (errorLevel4) {
console.error("Error level 4: ", errorLevel4.message);
throw new Error("Error level 3");
}
} catch (errorLevel3) {
console.error("Error level 3: ", errorLevel3.message);
throw new Error("Error level 2");
}
} catch (errorLevel2) {
console.error("Error level 2: ", errorLevel2.message);
throw new Error("Error level 1");
}
} catch (errorLevel1) {
console.error("Error level 1: ", errorLevel1.message);
} finally {
console.log("Finally block executed");
}

My blood is boiling while catching "the Object is possibly 'null' or 'undefined in typescript" .
Why don't we just use java for web dev instead of creating typescript WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
