+    /// ### What it does
+    /// The panic! macro is used to stop execution when a condition is not met.
+    /// This is useful for testing and prototyping, but should be avoided in production code
+    ///
+    /// ### Why is this bad?
+    /// The usage of panic! is not recommended because it will stop the execution of the caller contract.
+    ///
+    /// ### Known problems
+    /// While this linter detects explicit calls to panic!, there are some ways to raise a panic such as unwrap() or expect().
+    ///
+    /// ### Example
+    /// ```rust
+    /// pub fn add(env: Env, value: u32) -> u32 {
+    ///     let storage = env.storage().instance();
+    ///     let mut count: u32 = storage.get(&COUNTER).unwrap_or(0);
+    ///     match count.checked_add(value) {
+    ///         Some(value) => count = value,
+    ///         None => panic!("Overflow error"),
+    ///     }
+    ///     storage.set(&COUNTER, &count);
+    ///     storage.extend_ttl(100, 100);
+    ///     count
+    /// }
+    /// ```
+    /// Use instead:
+    /// ```rust
+    /// pub fn add(env: Env, value: u32) -> Result<u32, Error> {
+    ///     let storage = env.storage().instance();
+    ///     let mut count: u32 = storage.get(&COUNTER).unwrap_or(0);
+    ///     match count.checked_add(value) {
+    ///         Some(value) => count = value,
+    ///         None => return Err(Error::OverflowError),
+    ///     }
+    ///     storage.set(&COUNTER, &count);
+    ///     storage.extend_ttl(100, 100);
