An Examination of Issues with Exception Handling Mechanisms

Exception handling mechanisms are an important part in achieving robust and reliable software. The project will look intowhatmakes exception handlingmechanisms diffi-cult to use. Next, the project will focus on methods for achieving better control over exception handling. i Exception handling suffers from a fluke in its evolution.
