Error signal
Learn Error signal in Smalltalk with a construct-specific explanation, a unique example, a practical boundary, and a mastery check.
Error signal is an atomic Smalltalk topic inside Exceptions & Resources. The example below uses the actual construct named by the lesson rather than a generic placeholder.
Focus on what Error signal changes: the input, binding, control path, object state, collection, runtime effect, or language contract. Then alter one value and verify that the behavior changes for a reason specific to this feature.
Topic-specific example
Error signal: 'Invalid quantity'.
Observe when work actually runs, what state crosses the asynchronous boundary, and how completion or failure is surfaced.
