throwing error

Wild infield throw

In computing, throwing an error means deliberately triggering an exception when code encounters a problem it can't handle: The function throws an error if the input is null.

The thrown error interrupts normal execution and passes control to error-handling code elsewhere in the program.

Developers throw errors to signal invalid states, failed operations, or violated assumptions rather than letting bad data propagate silently.
