exceptions are just fancy gotos
Exceptions are fancy returns. Everything else is fancy goto, including returns...
I don’t see a catch in the screenshot. Maybe this block just has a finally that cleans some things up before the exception is thrown?
Why use try/if/catch when you can use try/if/switch/catch?
Why throwing an exception without a message, when you can use 0/0
