Chapter 16.1, Problem 16.3CP
Explanation of Solution
Exception:
In C++, the exception is an object used to signal the unexpected error occurred during a
- An exception has been thrown when an error has been occurred in a program.
Exception Handler:
The “throw point” is a statement which uses the keyword “throw” to throw an exception which occurred while executing the program.
- After the execution of “throw” statement, the program control will move to another part in the same program to handle the exception is called as “exception handler”.
- In order to handle an exception, construct a “try/catch” block in a program.
The “try” block:
- The “try” block is starts with the keyword “try” and it contains the code which will have the possibility to generate an exception.
- The “try” block must be followed by one or more “catch” blocks which are denoted as exception handlers.
The “catch” block:
- The “catch” block is starts with the keyword “catch” and it is followed by an “exception parameter”.
- The Catch block contains the code to be executed when the error occurred in Try block.
The general syntax for “try/catch” as follows:
try
{
//code which causes an exception;try block
}
Catch(Exception_argument)
{
//code which handles the exception;catch block
}
//Repeat catch blocks as many as needed
Multiple “catch” blocks:
In C++, a program can have multiple “catch” blocks for a single “try” block.
- If program wants to test for several errors which may happen, then it should implement multiple “catch” blocks.
- The “try” block must be followed by one or more “catch” blocks which are denoted as exception handlers...
