How does `try...catch` work in JavaScript?

Q: How does `try...catch` work in JavaScript?

**Core concept (TL;DR).** try wraps code that might throw; if anything inside throws, control jumps to catch with the error; an optional finally block runs **either way** (success or failure). It only catches **synchronous** throws — and rejected promises you await — not errors thrown later in async callbacks. try → (throw?) → catch → finally (always) try <text x="9
