traceback.format_exc() or sys.exc_info() will yield more info if that’s what you want. import traceback import sys try: do_stuff() except Exception: print(traceback.format_exc()) # or print(sys.exc_info()[2])
Firefox interprets function statements differently and apparently they broke declaration hoisting for the function declaration. ( A good read about named functions / declaration vs expression ) Why does Firefox interpret statements differently is because of the following code: if ( true ) { function test(){alert(“YAY”);} } else { function test(){alert(“FAIL”);} } test(); // should … Read more
There are a lot of ways that you can deal with this and frankly none of them is intrinsically ‘right’. You will have to decide for yourself, which method is more ‘comfortable’ for you – it’s always a mater of preferences (although there are certain techniques you should avoid and for good reasons). It will … Read more
It seems to me that this topic is very strange and confused. Could someone lights me up? Definitely. I’m not a PHP user, but I might have a little insight after having worked with try/catch in ActionScript, Java, and JavaScript. Bear in mind though, that different languages and platforms encourage different uses for try/catch. That … Read more
No, it’s not a bad practice. Putting return where it makes sense improves readability and maintainability and makes your code simpler to understand. You shouldn’t care as finally block will get executed if a return statement is encountered.
Finally always executes. That’s what it’s for, which means its return value gets used in your case. You’ll want to change your code so it’s more like this: function example() { var returnState = false; // initialization value is really up to the design try { returnState = true; } catch { returnState = false; … Read more
String timeToConvert = “2018-06-25T08:06:52Z”; Instant inst = Instant.parse(timeToConvert); LocalTime time = inst.atZone(ZoneId.of(“Africa/Nairobi”)) .toLocalTime() .truncatedTo(ChronoUnit.MINUTES); System.out.println(“Time in Nairobi: ” + time); This prints: Time in Nairobi: 11:06 I am using java.time, in this case the backport to Java 6 and 7. This backport is available in an Android edition too, which you may use for low … Read more
You should not use exceptions for control flow simply because it is bad design. It doesn’t make sense. Exceptions are for exceptional cases, not for normal flow. Performance probably won’t be an issue in this situation because for most modern applications on modern hardware, you could throw exceptions all day long and the user wouldn’t … Read more
Warnings and notices are not technically exceptions in PHP. To catch an exception it has to be explicitly thrown, and many of the built-in libraries of functions do not throw exceptions (mostly because they were written before PHP supported exceptions). It would have been nice if somehow exceptions were built on top of the existing … Read more
If you call System.exit() the program exits immediately without finally being called. A JVM Crash e.g. Segmentation Fault, will also prevent finally being called. i.e. the JVM stops immediately at this point and produces a crash report. An infinite loop would also prevent a finally being called. The finally block is always called when a … Read more
