Right now, regardless of the situation, we’d print the same error message for
everything, which wouldn’t give the user any information!

Fourth, if the user runs our program without specifying enough arguments,
they’ll get an `index out of bounds` error from Rust that doesn’t clearly
explain the problem. It would be best if all the error-handling code were
in one place so future maintainers had only one place to consult the code
if the error-handling logic needed to change. Having all the error-handling
code in one place will also ensure that we’re printing messages that
will be meaningful to our end users.

Let’s address these four problems by refactoring our project.
