Recover in Minitab

The `recover` function in Java is achieved through exception handling. Java uses try-catch blocks to handle exceptions, which is similar to how Go uses `recover` to catch panics.

Here's an example that demonstrates a similar concept in Java:

```java
public class RecoverExample {
    // This method throws an exception
    public static void mayThrow() throws Exception {
        throw new Exception("a problem");
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            // The exception handling (similar to recover in Go) must be done
            // in a try-catch block. When the enclosed code throws an exception,
            // it will be caught in the catch block.
            try {
                mayThrow();
            } catch (Exception e) {
                // The catch block is similar to the deferred function in Go
                // that calls recover(). The exception object 'e' contains
                // the error information, similar to the return value of recover() in Go.
                System.out.println("Caught. Error:\n " + e.getMessage());
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // This catch block won't be executed because the exception
            // is already caught in the inner try-catch block.
            System.out.println("This won't be printed.");
        }

        // This code will run, unlike in the Go example, because
        // the exception has been caught and handled.
        System.out.println("After mayThrow()");
    }
}

When you run this program, you’ll see:

$ javac RecoverExample.java
$ java RecoverExample
Caught. Error:
 a problem
After mayThrow()

In this Java example, we use a try-catch block to handle exceptions, which is conceptually similar to using recover in Go. The catch block catches any exception thrown in the try block, allowing the program to continue execution instead of crashing.

Unlike in Go, where recover is typically used with deferred functions, Java’s exception handling is more explicit with try-catch blocks. The catch block serves a similar purpose to Go’s deferred function that calls recover().

Also, in Java, the code after the try-catch block will execute if the exception is caught, whereas in Go, the code after a panic would not execute unless explicitly recovered.

This approach is widely used in Java for error handling and is particularly useful in scenarios like servers, where you want to handle errors for individual requests without crashing the entire server.
