Catch an exception for invalid user input in swift

Question

I am trying this code that is a calculator. How can I handle input from the user that is not valid?

A nice solution editing from https://github.com/kongtomorrow/TryCatchFinally-Swift:

First create TryCatch.h & TryCatch.m and bridge them to Swift:

TryCatch.h

#import 

void tryCatch(void(^tryBlock)(), void(^catchBlock)(NSException *e), void(^finallyBlock)());

TryCatch.m

#import 

void tryCatch(void(^tryBlock)(), void(^catchBlock)(NSException *e), void(^finallyBlock)()) {
    @try {
        tryBlock();
    }
    @catch (NSException *exception) {
        catchBlock(exception);
    }
    @finally {
        finallyBlock();
    }
}

Then create the class TryCatch in Swift:

func `try`(`try`:()->()) -> TryCatch {
    return TryCatch(`try`)
}
class TryCatch {
    let tryFunc : ()->()
    var catchFunc = { (e:NSException!)->() in return }
    var finallyFunc : ()->() = {}

    init(_ `try`:()->()) {
        tryFunc = `try`
    }

    func `catch`(`catch`:(NSException)->()) -> TryCatch {
        // objc bridging needs NSException!, not NSException as we'd like to expose to clients.
        catchFunc = { (e:NSException!) in `catch`(e) }
        return self
    }

    func finally(finally:()->()) {
        finallyFunc = finally
    }

    deinit {
        tryCatch(tryFunc, catchFunc, finallyFunc)
    }
}

Finally, use it! :)

`try` {
    let expn = NSExpression(format: "60****2")

    //let resultFloat = expn.expressionValueWithObject(nil, context: nil).floatValue
    // Other things...
    }.`catch` { e in
        // Handle error here...
        print("Error: \(e)")
}
