// if we're dealing with an error in our try block it will throw an error
// when an error is thrown, it will direct to the catch block
// catch block in our case will print out the error number 
// if momsAge is indeed older than the sonsAge, there will be no error, therefore the if statement will not execute, resulting in the catch statement not executing as well
