Answer
Empty 'catch' blocks can hide exceptions and make debugging difficult.
Using an empty 'catch' block means that exceptions are caught but not handled, which can lead to silent failures in your program. For instance, in an order processing system, silently catching exceptions during data validation might cause processing to continue with invalid data, leading to downstream errors.
