Track: Java
Topic: Exceptions
Focus: Fail Fast Validation
Java: Fail Fast Validation
Answer
It's the practice of anticipating and handling errors before they occur.
Defensive programming involves writing code that expects potential errors and handles them gracefully. This includes validating inputs, checking return values, and using exceptions to prevent errors from propagating. For instance, before processing a payment, check if all required data is available and valid.
