Is the calculation stops when it catches the 1st error?

The teacher commands 5 times to get 5 sets of random number. I thought he would get 3 random numbers and 2 error messages. But it doesn't run the rest of 3. Does the calculation stops when it finds its first error?

It's normal for the script to stop running when it encounters an error, unless the script uses exception catching to handle the error itself (which this one does not).

It was told in the previous lectures, that javascript debug line by line, like it shows an error at a time, and when you remove it, it went to another and again shows error if there is.
