This document provides an introduction to exception handling in programming. It discusses that exceptions are unusual runtime conditions, like division by zero, that a program may encounter during execution. It explains that code that could cause exceptions is placed in a try block. When an exception occurs in the try block, it is thrown using a throw statement. The catch block then handles the exception by generating user-friendly error messages. The document provides the syntax for try, throw, and catch blocks and includes an example program that catches a division by zero exception.
