Lack of Exceptions Used

Note from the teaching team: This bug was reported during the Part II (Evaluating Documents) stage of the PE. You may reject this bug if it is not related to the quality of documentation.

Looking through the documentation I found that most of the errors were handled within each command class itself rather than a erroneous input or error throwing an exception that can be handled.

Team's Response

Exceptions should be used when issues need to be propagated back to the caller(s). In the case of commands, since each command has clear knowledge of the error condition and how to fix it, it is in a better position to handle the issues than propagate them to the caller(s). Furthermore, exceptions break normal program flow and should be used with care.
