Exception class not found in Laravel

When I use this code in Laravel framework:

throw new Exception("failed");

it throws this error:

FatalErrorException in MyController.php line 178: Class 'App\Http\Controllers\Exception' not found

Does anybody know how can I use (include) that Exception class to my controller? Where is actually it?

To do that, you can specify Route::fallback() method at the end of routes/api. php, handling all the routes that weren't matched. Route::fallback(function(){ return response()->json([ 'message' => 'Page Not Found. If error persists, contact [email protected]'], 404); });

Throw the exception using the following code.
