How to Handle Errors with do/try/catch

Handle throwing functions safely.

Steps

  1. Paste the code into a Swift file or playground.
  2. Run it once to verify the output.
  3. Adjust the inputs to match your use case.

Copy and paste

import Foundation

enum FileError: Error {
    case missing
}

func loadFile() throws -> String {
    throw FileError.missing
}

do {
    let content = try loadFile()
    print(content)
} catch {
    print("Failed:", error)
}

Notes

  • Keep functions small and focused for reuse.
  • Prefer safe APIs like optionals and guards.
