Now, when we're talking about errors here, we're not talking compilation errors that prevent your program from being built, we're talking about runtime errors that occur after your code has successfully compiled and is executing. Rust categorizes those errors into two categories, recoverable and unrecoverable. Recoverable errors are problems that your program can reasonably do something about to resolve.
