finally always executes whether or not an error was thrown — ideal for cleanup like closing connections.

Expected output

Caught: Something went wrong
true
This always runs

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.
