When the program is executed as \texttt{f(0)}, the execution log \sergio{hay que decir que esto es la lista de instrucciones que se ejecutan y en el orden en el que lo hacen.} would be: \texttt{1, 2, 3, 13, 14, 15, 4, 5, 8, 10, 13, 14, 17}. In the only execution of line \texttt{17}, variable \texttt{a} has value 1 in that line. However, in the slice produced, the execution log is \texttt{1, 2, 3, 13, 14, 15}. The exception thrown in \texttt{g()} is not caught in \texttt{f()}, so it returns with an exception and line \texttt{17} never executes. When the program is executed \josep{from the call}as \texttt{f(0)}, the execution log \sergio{hay que decir que esto es la lista de instrucciones que se ejecutan y en el orden en el que lo hacen.}\josep{en program slicing se llama execution history, y puedes poner una cita a Corel y Lasky} would be: \texttt{1, 2, 3, 13, 14, 15, 4, 5, 8, 10, 13, 14, 17}. In the only execution of line \texttt{17}, variable \texttt{a} has value 1 in that line. However, in the slice produced, the execution log is \texttt{1, 2, 3, 13, 14, 15}. The exception thrown in \texttt{g()} is not caught in \texttt{f()}, so it returns with an exception and line \texttt{17} never executes.
The problem in this example is that the \texttt{catch} block in line \texttt{4} is not included, because ---according to the dependency graph shown below--- it does not influence the execution of line \texttt{17}. Two kinds of dependencies among statements are considered: data dependence (a variable is read that may have gotten its value from a given statement) and control dependence (the instruction controls whether another executes). The problem in this example is that the \texttt{catch} block in line \texttt{4} is not included, because ---according to the dependency graph \josep{computed by \cite{} and} shown \josep{in Figure~\ref{}}below--- it does not influence the execution of line \texttt{17}. Two kinds of dependencies among statements are considered: data dependence (a variable is read that may have gotten its value from a given statement) and control dependence (\josep{an} the instruction controls whether another \josep{instruction} executes).

Example~\ref{exa:program-slicing2} showcases an important error in the current slicing procedure for programs that handle errors with exceptions; because the \texttt{catch} block is disregarded. The only way a \texttt{catch} block can be included in the slice is if a statement inside it is needed for another reason. However, Allen and Horwitz did not encounter this problem in their paper~\cite{AllH03}, as the values outputted by method calls are extracted after the \texttt{normal return} and each \texttt{catch}, and in a typical method call with output, the \texttt{catch} is included by default when the outputted value is used. This detail makes the error much smaller, as most \texttt{try-catch} structures are run to obtain a value. \sergio{Anyadir el nodo \textit{out} para que lo que has explicado aqui quede mas comprensible.
