Lesson 17 / 25
Errors and exceptions
Understand Errors and exceptions as a useful part of Dart.
The essential idea
Errors and exceptions gives you one practical part of Dart. Start by naming the input, the change, and the expected result. This mental model matters before any syntax rule.
Run a tiny experiment
Use a minimal example. Predict what changes, run it, then explain the observed result.
// Explore Errors and exceptions with one focused example.
value = 0
print(value)
Output:
0
Avoid this trap
Do not memorize Errors and exceptions in isolation. Change one value in a small example and use feedback to correct your understanding.
