Exception handling

C# uses try-catch-finally blocks to handle exceptions. The finally block executes whether an exception occurs or not, which is ideal for cleaning up resources.

try {
    int x = 0;
    int y = 10 / x;
} catch (DivideByZeroException ex) {
    Console.WriteLine("Math error: " + ex.Message);
} finally {
    Console.WriteLine("Execution complete.");
}

How it reads

• try blocks hold code that could throw an exception
• catch (DivideByZeroException) handles specific division by zero arithmetic errors
• finally always runs at the end of the error handling sequence

Cloud tip: Always list more specific catch blocks (e.g. DivideByZeroException) before a general catch-all Exception block.
