Thorough use of 'if' statements or 'try/catch' blocks?

Question

Give me some of your thoughts on which is a better coding practice/makes more efficient code/looks prettier/whatever: Increasing and improving your ability to use if statem

Answer 1

I think if statements are better. You can't surround every line of code with a try..catch (well you can but you should not do it). You can surround a block of code with try catch but not every line.

And exceptions slow things down.
