    Exception handling in C++ allows programs to handle errors and exceptions gracefully. It uses three keywords: try catches exceptions within a block, catch handles any exceptions, and throw generates an exception. Exceptions identify problems that occur during execution. C++ exceptions are responses to exceptional circumstances, with try blocks identifying code sections where exceptions may occur and catch blocks providing handling code. User-defined exceptions can also be created for specific error types.

    Exception Handling
    • C does not provide direct support to error handling (or
    exception handling)
    • There are ways through which error handling can be done in C
    Exception Handling in C++
    • An exception is a problem that arises during the execution of a
    program.
    – A block of code that causes trouble for the compiler.
    – Due to the exception, the program/server may stop abruptly. So, the
    program will no longer be running.
    • A C++ exception is a response to an exceptional circumstance that
    arises while a program is running.
    • C++ exception handling is built upon 3 keywords.
    – try
    – catch, and
    – throw
    Exception Handling in C++
    • throw
    – A program throws an exception when a problem shows up. This is done
    using a throw keyword.
    • catch
    – A program catches an exception with an exception handler at the place in a
    program where you want to handle the problem.
    – The catch keyword indicates the catching of an exception.
    • try
    – A try block identifies a block of code for which particular exceptions will be
    activated.
    – It is followed by one or more catch blocks.
    Exception Handling in C++
    • Exception handling helps us handle this situation to avoid this
    kinds of circumstances.
    … What if d becomes 0 while running the code?
    • Server may stop if we do not handle this
    try { case/condition.
    … • Program is expected to throw an exception to the
    These lines are
    prone to Error.
    b = c / d * c; catch block, if we write it in a try block.
    …
    throw

    …
    } catch {
    Handles exception if anything wrong happens in the
    // Error handling code
    lines that are prone to Error.
    }
    Exception Handling in C++ - Example
    …
    try {
    …
    // protected code A class in C++
    if anything wrong …
    happens in the } catch (ExceptionName e1){
    protected code, try // catch block
    block will throw it to a
    } catch (ExceptionName e2){ • We can have different
    particular catch block // catch block types of Exceptions
    that Error belongs to.
    } • e1, e2,…, eN are
    … objects of class
    catch (ExceptionName eN){ Exception
    // catch block
    }

    • Nested try blocks


    • This line/Exception belongs to
    both the try blocks.
    • This throw will be caught by
    catch block of both the try
    blocks.
