In computer programming, several language mechanisms exist for exception handling. The term exception is typically used to denote a data structure storing information about an exceptional condition. One mechanism to transfer control, or raise an exception, is known as a throw; the exception is said to be thrown. Execution is transferred to a catch.
Catch ex As ExceptionType ' Handle Exception of a specified type (i.e. DivideByZeroException, OverflowException, etc.) Catch ex As Exception ' Handle Exception (catch all exceptions of a type not previously specified) Catch ' Handles anything that might be thrown, including non-CLR exceptions.
Exceptions are defined by different layers of a computer system, and the typical layers are CPU-defined interrupts, operating system (OS)-defined signals, programming language-defined exceptions. Each layer requires different ways of exception handling although they may be interrelated, e.g. a CPU interrupt could be turned into an OS signal.
Exception swallowing can also happen if the exception is handled and rethrown as a different exception, discarding the original exception and all its context. In this C# example, all exceptions are caught regardless of type, and a new generic exception is thrown, keeping only the message of the original exception.
In computer programming, specifically when using the imperative programming paradigm, an assertion is a predicate (a Boolean-valued function over the state space, usually expressed as a logical proposition using the variables of a program) connected to a point in the program, that always should evaluate to true at that point in code execution.
A snippet of Java code with keywords highlighted in bold blue font. The syntax of Java is the set of rules defining how a Java program is written and interpreted. The syntax is mostly derived from C and C++. Unlike C++, Java has no global functions or variables, but has data members which are also regarded as global variables.

unittest adheres to a more verbose syntax because it is inspired by the Java programming language's JUnit, as are most unit testing libraries; pytest achieves the same while intercepting Python's built-in assert calls, making the approach more concise. [8]: 32 [6]
