Simple:

try {
    //your bad code
} catch (error e) {
    console.log(e);
}

Try-catch basically gives you two options:

• Wrap your whole code in try-catch, then you're back to the original problem of wondering where the error occurred
• Use a ton of try-catches, which adds code complexity and is cluttered

Sometimes you can get a nice balance, but the point is that it shouldn't need to take extra steps to get detailed and actionable error information in a programming language.

The second one is what I do when coding in C.

+1 for writing code that won't even parse

Gotta love people starting off with a variant of "actually it's simple" - be it about politics, economics, world events or programming, grab your popcorn because they're about to make a fool of themselves.
