Handling errors at the method level

If potential errors are recoverable in the routine
Use a combination of try…Catch blocks as a retry mechanism for error handling.
If useful information can be added to the exception
Create and throw a new exception with the added information.
If cleanup is required
Perform it in the finally block.
If potential errors are not recoverable in the routine
Recovery should be handled by the calling routine and its error-handling structure.
