## Error Exceptions
-This is a stub. Help our community expand it.
+Similar to other programming languages, you generally want to throw Exceptions when some sort of error occurs. Consider the following example of a `withdraw()` function in a theoretical `BankAccount` class where the balance goes below 0:
-This quick style guide will help ensure your pull request gets accepted.
+```php
+function withdraw($amount) {
+ $newBalance = $this->balance - $amount;
+ if ($newBalance < 0) {
+ throw new Exception('Balance would go below zero');
+ }
+ return $newBalance;
+}
+```
-
+In this case, if the value of ```$this->balance``` was 5 and ```$amount``` was 10, you wouldn't want to authorize the withdrawal. By throwing an Exception, you ensure that the withdrawal doesn't take place if there is not enough money in the account.
