Hi Brain,
   
   Thanks for replying Brain.

       getValue() function is not defined my me. Its defined by users and I
have to access those function from my third file. Even though the persons
who defining the function makes mistake on "out of array", "Getting into
infinite loop" and etc., can we able to access it .....

      In my third file I will call that function by passing various inputs
and wants to call atleast 10 times and want to check for the output from
that function as correct or wrong. 

    By checking as like that, in between if any runtime error occurred
entire program crashes.  How can handle it without crashing......

    Thats my problem...................
