Answer
A common pitfall is not providing enough context in the thrown exception.
When using 'throw', ensure the exception message is descriptive. This aids in debugging and understanding the problem. For instance, 'throw new IllegalArgumentException("Price cannot be negative")' is more informative than a generic message. It helps developers quickly identify the issue's cause.
