In most programming languages, the default way to alert that something went wrong is to throw an exception. This interrupts the regular flow of the program until, as it crawls up the call stack, it meets a piece of code that handles exceptions in the call stack, thus leaving the happy path. If you’re unlucky, the error is unhandled and can crash your whole program.
