Defensive and offensive programming
Defensive programming is a term that many programmers have heard of. It’s related to error handling and having correct programs. For some programs, defensive programming is essential. For others, it may be useful to use here and there. Along with that, there’s also offensive programming.
In this video, we’ll start by examining "normal programming". We’ll examine it first because some people mistake it for defensive programming. However, this is something that you should do regardless of whether you do defensive programming or not.
Then, we’ll examine defensive programming, followed by offensive programming.
