Detecting an Exception
nTo detect specific exceptions, we must specify when we want exception detection to be active.
nThink of this as "turning on" exception
handling for a particular
section of code (the try block).
nA try block is a compound statement preceded by the try keyword.
nOnce the thread of control enters a try block, exception handling is in effect until the try block
is exited.
nThink of a try block as specifying when we want to detect exceptions. We can only detect an exception that is thrown when the thread of control is inside
of a try block.
