“The try statement executes a block and catches any exceptions that were thrown by the block. The catch clause defines a new variable that will receive the exception object. The throw statement raises an exception. If the throw statement is in a try block, then control goes to the catch clause.

The expression is usually an object literal containing a name property and a message property. The catcher of the exception can use that information to determine what to do.”
