I am trying to learn (very basic) ruby. The task is to write a couple of exception calls. I was able to write to ZeroDivisionError fine but the FileNotFound is giving me grief. The exception is never thrown because Ruby keeps calling the raising of FNF as an "unintialized constant." I've tried initializing it - not that I knew what I was doing. How can I make this stop so the Exception is raise correctly. The code below is calling the exception where the file exists and then where it doesn't. Thanks.
begin
File.open("test.txt").each do |line| puts line
raise FileNotFoundException
end
end
begin
File.open("fauxtest.txt").each do |line| puts line
raise FileNotFoundException
end
end
