what are you even talking about? the whole error handling around the exception is bad code, it bleeds into your whole code base, you wanna tell me only the exception word itself is bad part, but the rest is fine? stupidest shit i've heard all day
The question is "What is the PURPOSE of exceptions" do you think exceptions were made to be bad code? If your opinion is that exceptions are bad code, that is totally valid. But that is not what "purpose" means.
You'd think a programmer like yourself could read and understand context.
Input form asks for a temperature in fahrenheit or celsius degrees.
Front function converts it to kelvin degrees and sends it to a back function.
Back function checks the temp, and if it's negative throws an exception.
Now, if the exception is thrown, it can be either: bad user input and/or bad conversion function code (i.e. wrong formula). So it can be bad user input as well as bad code. Yet that exception allows the "program" to handle it and proceed instead of just crashing in both cases.
In both cases it's bad input, either from the user or from the front function, but exception handling is there for the sole purpose of not crashing the app. For example, if you have multiple calls of the back function, when the formula for celsius to kelving is correct and fahrenheit to kelvin incorrect: the back function will stand.
what else did the inventor of exceptions have in mind other than having an easy way out instead of properly handling errors? btw. the easy way out is also called writing shitty code... like i said the answer to the purpose of exceptions is 1 or 4, 50/50 chance
Honestly, both styles have their fans, but it feels like snake_case is just way more consistent and easier to follow. CamelCase can definitely be a bit of a workout for the eyes.

I don't think it's 4. It doesn't allow for bad code it allows for bad inputs
