Error and exception handling: The mechanisms and processes put in place in software systems to manage errors and exceptions. These mechanisms aim to gracefully handle unexpected or abnormal conditions (exceptions) that arise during a program’s execution, thereby preserving system stability and data integrity. This could involve logging errors for further analysis, displaying user-friendly error messages, or recovering from an error state.
