When you use a try/catch statement you can send the error to a variable. 
Then you can set up an alert to tell you the error. For example:

try{
code
code
code
}catch (error){
alert(error)
exit()
}

My question is, is there anyway for the alert to tell me what line the 
error was caused on? In the example I just gave, how would I know which 
of the three lines of code caused the error?
