# Instructions

Implement various kinds of error handling and resource management.

An important point of programming is how to handle errors and close resources even if errors occur.

This exercise requires you to handle various errors.
Because error handling is rather programming language specific you'll have to refer to the tests for your track to see what's exactly required.

this line probably needs to be removed, or at least changed because it's generic from the problem-spec repo

# Error Handling

In this exercise, you will implement a function called `processString` that processes a given input string with proper error handling.

You will learn how to:

- Check input types and throw errors for invalid inputs.
- Throw errors for specific cases (e.g., empty strings).
- Return the uppercase version of the string if it is valid.
- Handle and catch errors using a try..catch block


Implement the processString function using a `try…catch` block.

Inside the `try` block:

- If the input is not a string, throw a `TypeError`.

- If the input is an empty string, throw a generic `Error`.

how about on empty string, instead of throwing, it returns 'INVALID' or null/undefined so we can add some handling too.

we can also explicitly forbid the generic Error type to add more complexity


- Otherwise, return the input in `uppercase`.

Inside the `catch` block:
- console log the `error` message
- `throw` the `error` so it can be tested for its type.

the way this currently is, it'll pass one of the tests by default, without the student changing anything.

Idk if i'm vibing with this test specifically, maybe we need to add some handling for the empty string case, instead of throwing error.

In any case, more tests are needed, like for example do we want the tests to pass with any generic Error type or do we want to allow only certain types?

expect(() => processString('')).toThrow(Error);
});

xtest('returns uppercase string if input is valid', () => {
expect(processString('hello')).toBe('HELLO');
});
});
