I have the code below, as long as my function doesn’t have async keyword at the beginning of it, there is no problem catching the exception at the function call but when I add async keyword to the function, I’m unable to catch the exception at the function call, I’m just wondering why it’s not possible to catch the exception at the function call in an async function?

p.n:I know I can catch thee exception inside the body of the async function, I’m just wondering why it’s not possible in the function call.

code:

//async function

async function lome() {
throw new Error("error");
}

try { lome() } catch { console.log("hey") };

//output: error

//normal function

function lome() {
throw new Error("error");
}

try { lome() } catch { console.log("hey") };

//output:hey
