Using the 'runCatching' Function for Exception Handling

The 'runCatching' function is a convenient way to handle exceptions in Kotlin. It allows you to execute a block of code and capture any exceptions that might occur, making error handling cleaner and more concise. This is particularly useful when dealing with operations that may throw exceptions, such as network calls or file operations.

val result = runCatching {
    // Code that may throw an exception
    val data = fetchDataFromNetwork()
    processData(data)
}.getOrElse { 
    // Handle the exception
    handleError(it)
}
