try {
  console.log(Hello World);
}
catch (error) {
  console.log(error.name);
  console.log(error.message);
}

Output:

Uncaught SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list

No idea why SyntaxError is not being catch.

Is there any mistake in my code or due to some JavaScript concepts I am getting this error

Syntax errors are detected before the code runs, so they cannot be caught by an exception handler. – Pointy Mar 01 '23 at 02:35

Oh also the syntax error is that `Hello World` should be `"Hello World"`, with quotes. – Pointy Mar 01 '23 at 02:37
Yes I want SyntaxError to revise try and catch. so I didn't added " " quotes – Avijit Mar 01 '23 at 02:39

Well you want something that cannot happen. The parser has to interpret the meaning of the code **before** the code runs. – Pointy Mar 01 '23 at 02:40
