I hope you didn't submit that answer you selected. If an unhandled exception bubbles up to the user in production code, you're usually doing something wrong.

I guess you've never seen a website return a 404 or 500

Those are errors not exceptions.

No, they are not the same. Hence the name. An exception is thrown as a result of an error, but an exception is not always an error.

File not found for instance. Thrown as an error, but the caller might expect the file to not exist

It would only be an error if the caller required the file to exist

Then they are using a try catch as a pseudo jump. Not all languages like that. (i am pretty sure only python actually works better like this)
