octave: Handling Errors

 
 12.1 Handling Errors
 ====================
 
 An error is something that occurs when a program is in a state where it
 doesn’t make sense to continue.  An example is when a function is called
 with too few input arguments.  In this situation the function should
 abort with an error message informing the user of the lacking input
 arguments.
 
    Since an error can occur during the evaluation of a program, it is
 very convenient to be able to detect that an error occurred, so that the
 error can be fixed.  This is possible with the ‘try’ statement described
 in SeeThe try Statement.
