Description: The format exception in programming languages such as C# is a type of error that is thrown when an argument provided to a method does not meet the expected format. This can occur, for example, when trying to convert a string to a number or when formatting a date. The `FormatException` class, which inherits from `SystemException`, is used to represent this type of error. Its main feature is that it allows developers to identify and handle situations where input data is invalid, which is crucial for maintaining application integrity. Proper management of this exception is essential for improving user experience, as it allows for clear and specific error messages instead of abrupt application failures. In the context of programming, the format exception is commonly found in type conversion operations, such as parsing integers or dates, and in string manipulation that requires a specific format. The ability to effectively handle this exception is essential for developing robust and reliable applications, as it helps prevent unexpected errors and ensures that data is processed correctly.
