Equivalent of try catch(exception handling) in JavaScript

Question

Is there an equivalent of try catch mechanism for client side(JavaScript) like the one we have for exception handling in C#.

What would be the best way to handle exceptions in client side.

maybe [try ... catch](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/try...catch) — Stephen Thomas, Mar 15 '14 at 16:44

Sorry for this. Just now downloaded the new iOS app and was excited to try it out. I apologise for this. Will delete this post — ckv, Mar 15 '14 at 16:52
wow iOS and javascript are the same , your sharing your account with someone or they gave it to you, as your words do not match your history on questions — alexmac, Mar 15 '14 at 16:59
I don't know what you are talking about. What I meant was I just downloaded the alpha version of stack exchange app and was too tempted to try it out. Sorry for the confusion — ckv, Mar 15 '14 at 17:01

try
  {
  //Run some code here
  }
catch(err)
  {
  //Handle errors here
  }

You can also throw exceptions as in c#

throw 'something went wrong !';

The exception can be a JavaScript String, a Number, a Boolean or an Object.
