Why not write the program in a way where you figure out dynamically when the program is run how much memory you need rather than hard coding in two with or within that constant.

为什么不写一个可以动态的方式写那个程序,程序可以动态分配内存,而不是用常量硬编码两个值。

That goes back to that idea of sort of discipline coding. It's easy to have assumptions about what you think are going to come into the program when you writ it. If you really know what they are use them as search, but if you think there's going to be some flexibility, you want to prevent the user getting trapped in a bad spot, and exceptions as a consequence are a good thing to use.

这又回到了规范编码的想法上来了,在你写代码的时候考虑,什么会进入你的代码的思考是简单的,如果你真的知道,他们是用他们来做搜索的,而你希望有一定的灵活性，你想要阻止用户,陷入一个艰难的境地,那么异常是非常实用的。
