Code that might fail can be wrapped in try. If it throws, catch runs instead of the program crashing.

Quick check

When does the `catch` block run?

AlwaysWhen the try block throws an errorOnly at the end

Your turn: write the code

Write safeParse(text) that returns JSON.parse(text), or null if the text is not valid JSON. Print safeParse('{"a":1}').a and then safeParse("oops").

Finish the quick check (and any code exercise) to complete this lesson, or mark it done yourself.
