Exceptions should be detected and handled by the computer application.

This is so that it can

address the error as best it can because the program is the one running the code that is

creating the exception.

There are a few reasons why this is the case:

 The program is the one with the greatest error context. It is aware of the code being

run, the data being used, and the intended result. This data is necessary to identify the

error's root cause and the best course of action.

 The program can make corrections.

 The software might be able to fix the issue and carry on running in some

circumstances.

 In other situations, the application might have to alert the user to the issue and end

gracefully.

 The software could stop the error from doing more harm.

 The software may crash or corrupt data if the mistake is not handled.

 This can be avoided by the software by handling the mistake.

Naturally, there are situations in which the application is unable to handle an exception. For

instance, the application cannot be made to work again if the exception is the result of a

hardware malfunction. When this happens, the operating system will try to handle the

exception by propagating it to it.

Though, the program's job is to detect and manage exceptions. This is so that the software,

which is the most suited to comprehend and manage the error, can do so. By managing
exceptions, the software can guarantee that the application keeps running as intended and

stop the error from doing more harm.
