Exceptions · interview question
A teammate submits shaky custom exceptions code. Which review comment is the strongest?
Multiple choiceMediumchapter-5-curatedpremiumexceptionscustom-exceptions
Answer and explanation
Correct answer
B. Make the rule clearer and easier to explain. Name the failure in business or system terms when callers need to handle it differently from generic runtime noise.
Why
The best review comment anchors the change to readability, correctness, and future maintenance. Creating custom exceptions without a real boundary purpose adds ceremony without leverage.
