If your only goal is to avoid crashing the app then you can catch the base Exception class at the root of you code and go home. But consider the scenario that you're writing a very important method, where the functionality of your method is very important. If your method does not do its job, the rocket may crash or the patient may die. In this case you want to know what recoverable errors are possible in the functions that your method calls, correct? Wouldn't be it nice to get a guaranteed-by-compiler list of possible, recoverable, errors?

- breadwinner 3y agoNo. You only catch exceptions you can recover from in your method. Other exceptions should be handled in higher layers.
