Answer
Avoid catching too broadly, ignoring exceptions, and using exceptions for flow control.
Catching exceptions too broadly, such as catching Exception, can hide errors and make debugging difficult. Ignoring exceptions or using them for control flow can lead to hidden bugs and inefficient code. Always handle exceptions meaningfully and specifically.
