// Let's revisit the very first error exercise. This time, we're going to
2021-08-28 10:55:34 -04:00
// look at an error-handling variation of the "if" statement.
2021-01-31 17:48:34 -05:00
//
// if (foo) |value| {
//
// // foo was NOT an error; value is the non-error value of foo
//
// } else |err| {
//
// // foo WAS an error; err is the error value of foo
//
// }
//
// We'll take it even further and use a switch statement to handle
// the error types.
