Let me get this strait...

Just to confirm: Enums can be used to hold error types and hold associated values to give a message for the error, then that error is thrown using "throws" in a function, then returned with "throw (error name)" then to use the function we must use do to execute it, then "try" to "try" it, then catch to catch the error and return it with the specific instance of the function, then defer to completely exit the scope of the function once the error has happened.

Is this true? I'm trying to understand everything... but this is definitely confusing me!!!

Everything you've said sounds right to me. I'm still slightly confused on the appropriate times to use deferral, but it doesn't always seem necessary. Correct me if I'm wrong.
