 ## StackTrace
 
-The **StackTrace** class extents **Throwable** and it's intended to facilitate capture of the flow of execution that triggered system state changes that may lead to future operation errors. For example, an object that's no longer valid might get used subsequent to the event that caused it to become invalid, or a long-lived object may get discarded without corresponding resources being cleaned up.
