Syntax of a try block with catch block:

try{
       //block of statements

}catch(exception_var){

}

Syntax of a try block with a final block:

try{
       //block of statements

} finally {

}

Syntax of try block with catch and finally block:

try{
        //block of statements

}catch(exception_var){

}finally{

}

catch block:

The catch block is used for the exception handler. It is used after the try block.

Syntax:

try{
       //block of statements

}catch(exception_var){

}

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p id="test"></p>
<script>
try {
showalert("Welcome guest!");
}
catch(error) {
document.getElementById("test").innerHTML = error.message;
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
