What are some alternatives to try-catch in Ruby?

In Ruby, you can use methods like rescue and ensure for error handling. Would you like to know more about these?

Yes, how does the rescue method work?

The rescue method allows you to handle exceptions without using a traditional try-catch block. You can define it after a method or block to catch specific exceptions.

Can you give me an example of using rescue?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

begin
  # code that might raise an exception
rescue StandardError => e
  puts "Error: \\#{e.message}"
end

What about using ensure?

The ensure block runs code regardless of whether an exception was raised or not. It's useful for cleanup tasks.
