Is this an exception or an error?

Question

C++ / C#

Why can't the term exception be replaced by an error?

Answer 1

Here it is chewed up.

In fact, exceptions are errors, but we can process some, we break on others.
For example, WebException is predictable in principle, I have a lousy channel and I try again, FormatException outputs something to the log.
I simply extinguish everything at the application level so as not to destroy it, write it to the log and offer the user a button to scold me or try again .

Answer 2

Well, what's my mistake if you make me divide by zero? Or are you asking me to open a file that you didn't create for some reason? Or so scored the memory that I did not have enough? Therefore, I inform you about an exceptional situation, the consequences of which you need to rake, and not me - a normal function. Perhaps this is your mistake. And my code works fine.

Answer 3

Error (bug) - there are no exceptions here:

decimal Умножить(decimal множитель1, decimal множитель2)
{
    // программист перепутал операторы
    return множитель1 + множитель2;
}

Mistakes are allowed, found and corrected.
Exception (exception) - there are no errors here:

string ReadFileTextUtf8(string fileName)
{
    if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(fileName))
        throw new ArgumentNullException("fileName");

    return File.ReadAllText(fileName, Encoding.UTF8);
}

Exceptions are thrown (throw) and processed (handle) - using catch (selective processing) or finally (final processing).
In order to avoid confusion, it is better not to use the English "error" at all. As a rule, people who use "error" don't understand what they are talking about.
