## The try Statement

The  `try`  statement in AVAP specifies exception handlers and/or cleanup code for a block of statements. The syntax is as follows:

```javascript
try()
                code to execute 
                exception()
                code to execute
                end()
```

The  `try`  block contains code that might raise an exception. The  `exception`  block contains code to handle exceptions raised by the  `try`  block. If an exception occurs, control is transferred to the  `except`  block. If no exception occurs, the  `except`  block is skipped.

Additional information about exceptions can be found in the section  Exceptions , and information about using the  `raise`  statement to throw exceptions can be found in the section  The raise Statement .
