= Try-Catch-Get Expression =

The try expression provides a simple way to run a single expression that may generate a single exception Type
and provide a default value if it does so.

It's a convenience for a [wiki:Try try-catch] statement for a single statement which would assign the expression.[[BR]]

The value of the expression is the value of the expression following 'try' or if an exception is thrown the value of the expression after the 'get'.

If an Exception-Type is not given it will catch all Exceptions.
 
== Grammar ==
try <expr> catch [ <Exception-Type> ] get <expr> 


== Examples ==

{{{
#!cobra
inVal = '..' #an int string presumably
x = try int.parse(inVal) catch FormatException get 0 #  return 0 if inVal not an int String

# Catch all exceptions
dflt = '---'
s1 = try String.format('{1:P}', 0.123) catch get dflt
assert s1 == '---'

name = try .input('Enter your name:') catch ConsoleInputException get 'ERROR'
