+A Solidity contract throws an exception for unhealthy operations such as
- division by zero
- modulo by zero
-- out-of-bounds access on a fixed bytes value
-- out-of-bounds access on an array
-- a positive value seen by a function without ``payable`` mofifier except when the function is a library function
+- out-of-bounds index access on an array

+- a Ether transfer seen by a function without ``payable`` mofifier except when the function is a library function
- execution of ``throw;``
- a contract invocation with no matching interface function or a fallback function
- an external call in an exceptional state, for instance, out of gas, invalid jump destination, and so on (however, low level ``call``, ``send``, ``delegatecall`` and ``callcode`` just return zero for such cases).
