Exceptions are really interesting objects for me, but I can’t understand the real place of them in programming. This lesson examples with throwing a custom error in case location is too far to deliver, or goods out of stock - is’n it easier to implement with condition tools or something like, and without raising any errors? Sorry, may be I’m not clear enough, the lesson is good, really, but may be to add or mention just some examples from “closer to real life”? I only try to understand when would be better for me to use custom exceptions. (it’s more or less clear with built-ins.)

I don’t quite understand this very well.
“”““Since our class name populates into the traceback, even this simple class proves to be more useful than a generic Exception object or any built-in types! Users and developers alike will appreciate having specific exception details to work with.””"
what does it exactly mean that it populates to traceback? don’t other errors also populate to traceback?
