I see ample use of try/catch. Why? Why is it better/different than if/else?
You are talking about two completely different things here. If/else is for testing a condition. Try/catch is for handling exceptions. If an exception is thrown within a try/catch block the code in the catch section will be executed. The two are not interchangeable. You should read up on exception handling if you think you may need to use try/catch.
