unhandled rejection in JavaScript

JavaScriptError Handlingasync error handlingintermediate

What this snippet does

An unhandled promise rejection is a bug — always add .catch() or wrap await in try/catch to handle async failures.

Expected output

caught: handled
caught: async error

Why practise typing this

Typing error handling code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation JavaScript uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
