What methods can be used to intercept and handle panic-type errors in a program?

In Go, the mechanism recover used together with defer is employed to catch and handle panic errors. The recover function allows catching a panic and preventing the program from crashing.

Example:

func safeFunction() {
    defer func() {
        if r := recover(); r != nil {
            fmt.Println("Panic caught:", r)
        }
    }()

    // Code that might cause panic
    panic("something went wrong")
}

func main() {
    safeFunction()
    fmt.Println("The program continues to run")
}

In this example, defer postpones the execution of an anonymous function that calls recover. If a panic occurs in safeFunction, it will be caught and handled, allowing the program to continue running.
