I am researching the difference between panic and error for a long time but unfortunately I haven't found the exact answer. Can anyone help?
you can compare them with Exception
, Error
it's just Exception
object, but panic(err)
it's throw exceptionObject
Think of it like this:
panic()
(a verb) is an action
error
(a noun) is an entity
Once you have an error
, you can do something with it (panic()
ing is just one of many options here, others being ignoring the error, returning the error to the caller or taking some other error specific action)
Note that you don't necessarily need an error
to panic()
.
